Title: FIREMISSION: Star Advertiser Poll on Gun Laws
Post by: RKBA on July 24, 2012, 02:04:07 PM
Yet another poll on Gun Control about halfway down the Honolulu Star Advertiser's webpage: http://www.staradvertiser.com/ (http://www.staradvertiser.com/) 

I could swear we just had one last month. I guess we won that one so they couldn't wait to put up another. Except now instead of a "yay or nay" two-choice type poll, they've split it into two pro-gun choices to almost  ensure we lose. Anyway, let's hit this one as much as we can regardless. Thanks.

As of about 2:00 today:

What is the appropriate response to the Aurora, Colo., movie massacre shootings?
A. More restrictive gun laws (55%, 651 Votes)
C. No gun-law change (34%, 402 Votes)
B. Less restrictive gun laws (11%, 125 Votes)

Not bad considering a thousand votes for either 'no change' or 'less gun control'.

Not surprising that the poll was designed to make 'more gun control' seem to win.  One more reason to not buy Staradvertiser news papers.

Yup............if you look to maintain the status quo or go more lenient, then it's 57% pro-firearms and 43% anti-firearms.  Pretty impressive in light of this following a much hyped event.

It probably did.  When i voted it was 22% and i checked a little while later and it was 26%.  Pretty big jump in only an hour or so!  I wonder if they cancelled it so they can air something about it on the 10 o'clock news

Until that "more gun control" percentage changes, we'll never see CCW.
