how about something about having more strict tests and background checks for those who want to own a hand gun, and even more strict on those wanting semiauto rifles.

i became an owner of a gun way too easily...kinda scary. h:

aww, taking your ball and going home, huh?

How cute.

your poll options are equally biased, and honestly I think they suck.

Who classifies what target practice weapons are?

I go to the range and see guys with big scary "Assault rifles" shooting away at targets, and thats all they shoot.

Every gun is a target/range gun.


I think you're throwing a temper tantrum on this topic and deciding to post your own poll because the other poll didn't agree with your anti-gun nature. Better post up a 'new' poll with a more broad spectum.

Funny nobody else complained about the polling options - they were I like guns, I don't care, and I hate them. I think that covered it pretty well.

This is simply a poll which is not designed to skew its results in any direction. There is an option which totally satisfies your opinion without passing judgement, and there is the same for other choices on the continuum between your opinion and its polar opposite.

I guess you sort of fit between the 2nd and 3rd choices? :dunno:

I didnt like how in that Bowling for Columbine movie really dumb hicks are armed to the teeth. It's just like getting a driver's license in this country, way way too easy.

#3 cuz its the closest to waht i want. as a gun owner, its a right im not about to give up but you wont open my closet and find an ak47 or uzi's.... however im not really sure i want to have to register every gun i own.... cuz little by little i think they are going to regulate more and more and soon enough, ill have to pick up my guns at the police station and sign them out to hunt or target shoot.... im not really down with that.
background checks are a good idea though and as far as im concerned, the current law of felons = no guns im perfectly at ease with.

side note, gettin your pistol permit in NY is no simple task.... waiting list.... civil references.... and dammit i want my Ruger kP944 .40S&W

While I like Mr. Fat Booty's opinions on cars most of the time. I have to say that started a second poll on this was pretty childish. His poll STILL results in most of us liking guns and so i don't see a point. He seems like he wants to argue reg. for guns and won't respond to other questions/comments.

This type of behavior is common in the Anti-gun crowd.

Looks like I'm stuck in the majority again.
