interesting msnbc poll on "gun carry in public"

[solus]

Poll: Do you think people should be allowed to carry guns in public?

Do you think people should be allowed to carry guns in public?

www.msnbc.com

there was no story line just the poll ???

seeking further background on what precipitated the poll in the first place.

 

[bc.cruiser]

Only 46% say YES; with 1,502,000 or 3,280,000 respondents. 1,745,000 say No, it's too dangerous. 1% (33,000) say Only for self defense.

Good luck finding the who/what/why for this.

That poll has been up and taken down two times now. I've voted everytime.

It always shows the same numbers no matter how one votes and has for couple of months.

 

[color of law]

The poll has been around for more than a year. It's like the proverbial dead body that keeps floating to the surface.

MSNBC...liberals...poll is bogus...

 

[Doug_Nightmare]

ALL polls are bogus. Almost even Constitutional polls and for similar reasons.

 

[OC for ME]

...not all polls are bogus...obviously...

Because of the ad block I use, they wouldn't let me in. Oh well. They wouldn't have like my vote any way.

I just tried the link myself and got in (and voted), and am using Adblock Plus. But I did as they asked and disabled Adblock on their site even though there was an option to "continue anyway."

Your "Yes" & "No" percentages are reversed: "Yes" should be 46%, "No" should be 53%
