We need everyone's help!!!
 
Moderators, I know this is not an archery topic.We are all hunters and most are gun owners.

I am aware thatthis is also posted in some of the other forums. I just thought this issue was important enough to get everyone's attention about it.

There is a poll on ABC News.com that wants to know how Americans feel about gun control in the wake of the VT shooting.

So far the poll shows that most are not supportive of gun control.

I urge all to go vote so we as gun owners will show the liberal ABC media that Americans do not favor gun control.

Here is the link http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=3046125&page=1


Please find the poll and vote.

Thank You All!!!

done deal... you must have read that wrong i think its the other way around no is 85,000

Windwalker7 04-19-2007 07:46 PM

RE: We need everyone's help!!!
 
The 85000 are saying that we do not need anymore gun control. We are doing really well.

It really shows the media that Americans do not want more gun control. I'm sure that they don't want to see that.

We are not hurting ...... read it again ....

Do you think this incident is a reason to pass stricter gun control legislation?

No. Violent shootings are isolated incidents and it's irresponsible to link them to gun control.

[/align]Yes. This shows the violence that can occur when someone has access to handguns.

[/align]25,948


[/align]I'm not sure. I need more information.

RE: We need everyone's help!!!
 
you can bet the results of this poll showing most AMERICANS do not want gun control will never make it on the news.

Buellhunter 04-19-2007 07:55 PM

RE: We need everyone's help!!!
 
there is another poll on MSN.com
Please vote there too!

This is the first time since being old enough to vote, thatI actually voted.


davidmil 04-19-2007 08:44 PM

RE: We need everyone's help!!!
 
Done. Voted on both. While I was there I also voted for shorter skirts. LOL

Greg / MO 04-19-2007 08:52 PM

RE: We need everyone's help!!!
 
Even though we're doing well overall, it's still scary to me that nearly 26,000 people would vote to further restrict access to guns, and specifically handguns.

I'm pinning this one for a while...

livinfortherut 04-19-2007 08:57 PM

RE: We need everyone's help!!!
 
Voted at both. I agree the fact that the majority of the people are not for tighter gun controll will never make it to the news but should.

Buellhunter 04-20-2007 02:15 AM

RE: We need everyone's help!!!
 
telling the truth about how most Americans feel about gun control would not fit their agenda.
Now if it was like 80% in favor of more gun control it would be headline news on every station and newspaper.


jmbuckhunter 04-20-2007 05:10 AM

RE: We need everyone's help!!!
 
Voted the correct way in both polls. Now lets see the results on the news.

GR8atta2d 04-20-2007 05:11 AM

RE: We need everyone's help!!!
 
Voted!

davepjr71 04-20-2007 10:39 AM

RE: We need everyone's help!!!
 
Voted NO.

I did a paper about this sort of topic in college. According to the informationI found at that time the majority of guns used in crimes are illegally purchased and sold thru the black market from places like China, Korea, etcand come in on ships that the government is not willing to police. They are usually off name weapons bought for cheap. Not purchased at your local gun shop.

Unfortunetly, someone does something with legally purchased weapons and people that are not informed start screaming to enforce tougher laws with no clear direction or thought on what you could actually do to prevent this from happening again.

I see the poll is off MSN now. Wonder when they will announce the results?

davepjr71 04-20-2007 06:35 PM

RE: We need everyone's help!!!
 
They probably expected a different result. We'll see.

ash2042 04-20-2007 07:10 PM

Watched the ABC News last night and didn't see the results of their poll, did anyone else see the results on theLIBERAL NEWS? I didn't.

RE: We need everyone's help!!!
 
I just watched ABC news and they said that 61% of Americans polled, want stricter gun control laws.

This is a crock. Their poll clearly shows that is not the case.

They did say that most want some sort ofbackground check on mental stability.

But to say that most Americans want stricter gun control is a lie.

WOW, if this is true, it is truely sad.

What do you expect from the major networks. They've been telling us lies for many years. If you want something more 'fair and balanced', go to FOX News. At least over there they allow decenting views and try to stand in neutral status.

GMMAT 04-24-2007 08:02 AM

RE: We need everyone's help!!!
 
If you watched fox news last night.....they showed a flow chart of where the money that's driving the media (big three) comes from. they're not going to cut their own throats by going against the likes of Soros and his ilk.



davepjr71 04-24-2007 08:53 AM

RE: We need everyone's help!!!
 
The ABC fake results is exactly whatI expected from the media. They created the poll because I'm sure they were confident that most people would want stricter laws and I'm sure were surprised at the results.

So, they decided to create their own results. Been doing it for years. If people were actually that way in America we wouldn't have guns at all. i think they figure if they post their results the "closet" anti-gun people will come out of the woodwork and also help drum up support.

RE: We need everyone's help!!!
 
windwalker7 (or anyone else who was watching), Which of the ABC news department was that you refer to regarding the poll resultsshow "61% for"(Nightley news or World news)?
I ask because there is a (contact us) link at the bottom of the page where the poll was and I'd like to send an email asking how they can report one way when the results of their own poll show otherwise and I want to contact the correct section (there is a link to each of the differant ABC news programs). I doubt there will be a reply but I'd like to do it anyway.
Actually, maybe if theywere to be bombarded with similar emails from all of us who are concerned they would feel a need to post what other sources they used to gather the info because as we all see, it surely wasn't their own poll.

True.......sad but true. Instead they will post a poll taken at the some liberal convention............I wonder how that one will turn out.[&:]

dynatec 04-24-2007 05:29 PM

RE: We need everyone's help!!!
 
I put in my 2 cents,no gun control ,this is the same crape we're going through here in Canada.
Take the guns out of the hands of honest people while leaving the criminals with their guns to run ramped.
It should be obvious if they can't get the guns legally then they will use what ever means necessary.

grady3 04-24-2007 09:23 PM

RE: We need everyone's help!!!
 
Poll is now 4 to 1 saying that it is NOT a reason for more gun control! Imagine that, the liberal media letting that show up!

I rarely watched their biased news and was actually on the computer when it was on. It was about 5:45 PM , as you can see from my last post on this thread. I posted to this thread as soon as I saw it. It was the news with Charlie Gibson that is on at that time of day. They did not show anything withthe 61% of people wanting more gun control. Charlie was talking about the aftermath of the VT shootings and said that 61% of Americans want stricter gun control. I did watch this small segment of the news just to see if they said anything about their poll. Charlie did not say that the 61% lead was from the poll on their website. As a matter of fact, he didn't say what poll it was from. He just said that 61% of Americanswant stricter gun control.
