Of course after the initial shock and emotional response.
It's like a one nighter - the next day you come to your senses and either pull the fire alarm or run!

I'd like to see the poll add the question (for the "60 percent [who] said they support a nationwide ban on the sale of assault weapons"): Please define "assault weapon" and explain how those features that characterize an "assault weapon" differentiate it functionally from "non-assault weapons" not having those particular features.
I mean, I'm sure all those favoring a ban know exactly what it is they are and aren't banning, right? ("Shoulder thing that goes up...). :wtf:
And that's why you never see any polls that reveal the level of (lack of) knowledge of the respondents. But no one needs "knowledge" to respond to a poll... or vote.

Do you support an assault weapons ban? Or
Do you think we should ban assault weapons to stop children being killed ?

The correct headline should be most Americans that they polled favor more gun control. We should start a poll showing most Hawaii residents (our members) favor no gun bans or gun control and submit it to the SA.
