CNN Gun Poll

essohbe · January 19, 2011, 06:20 PM

There's a new poll on CNN website asking "should congress ban the use of high-cap magazines?"

It isn't looking good. Go to their website and about half-way down on the right you'll see it. Make sure you vote "NO," and please spread the word on your other forums.

I would never have seen it had you not pointed it out. I don'ty spend a lot of time on CNN. I suspect a lot of people that would vote NO don't either.

Odd, I voted twice from two different computers and the NO vote didn't change at all.

Got it.

jimjc · January 19, 2011, 08:00 PM

Now make sure you don`t vote NO more than once

I will go vote. But the fact that most of CNN's viewers are anti-gun, I don't expect the poll to represent the opinions of most Americans.
Kinda like asking a car salesman at Ford dealership who makes the best truck.

I wonder it it is changing at all.

This is not a scientific poll
Yes
57%
111284
No
43%
82372

15 minutes later, still 57 Ban 'em and 43 let us load 'em up.

CNN, You watch CNN?

ep2621 · January 19, 2011, 09:00 PM

Still 57% for banning them.

1 vote for banning them equals 2 votes.
1 vote for not banning them equals .01 votes.

Wonder why CNN's ratings are in the crapper

All I can find is a poll about congress repealing the Health Care Plan. I'd like to find the magazine ban one... but I also wonder... what good does it do voting on CNN? The American people have already seen how useless the AWB under Clinton was, so I doubt a CNN poll as important.

Freeping polls hasn't done anything since the nineties except make the people doing it feel self-righteous.

The poll seems to be gone for something else, so there's no much use in keeping this one open.
