View Full Version : Gun Poll: Anti's are creaming us at a rate of 100 per minute

The poll, which asked if cities should be allowed to sue firearms manufacturers' is now done, and we prevailed.

While I usually do not condone fixing polls, it was clear that the anti's were, so we had to overcome and adapt. :)

A lot of the ar15.com'ers turned off their cookies, highlighted the no vote button, and put something of weight on the enter button: it was full auto voting.

I have wireless internet; very fast, and I had to go to the store for a couple of hours, so I placed my floppy case tactically on my enter key, and when I came home a few hours later, estimated I was voting at the rate of 25000 votes per hour during 3 hours that I was gone.

A few others with T1 internet had done the same: it was a massacre (woops, can I say that here ????).

I suspect someone has programmed a "robot" to keep voting "yes" on this one.

Down to 20% now :mad:

I timed it and they get more than 250 'yes' votes per minute! Remember when Klinton had that meeting with internet administrators and he had that 'ex-hacker' kid there? I betcha KLINTON IS BEHIND THIS!!!! :mad: Call Oliver Stone!

It was 69% our favor at 12:18 EST. Looks like the tide is turning back in our favor. ;)

It was 53% in THEIR favor when my family and I started to vote. Now it's 54% in OUR favor.

I really do appreciate my family's support - especially my Dad's (b.1898 d.1976). He's really become quite the Second Amendment activist! ;)

Yes - 60, No - 39. Everytime I refreshed the yes total was up 400-500. Suspicious. JT

Clicked on the link you gave, nothing in the way of any firearms poll shows up, though there is something about betting on college sports.

Is that what you were talking about?

I think they went to another poll. I voted in the gun poll earlier, but it's about college sports betting now.
