========================================
Current Gun Ban Poll: Should privately owned firearms be
banned?
- Yes, that would reduce the rate of violence
- No, that accomplishes nothing and violates individual rights
- Impose tough restrictions, but don't ban them
- Don't know
========================
Previous Poll
Note: The last poll asked: Are revelations about FBI lying and possibly
illegal practices during the 1993 standoff in Waco, TX evidence that
Americans may need arms to defend against abusive government?
60% = 18335 votes. Yes, the right to bear arms is a check against government power.
25% = 7458 votes. No, official abuses should be addressed through established channels.
11% = 3388 votes. I don’t believe that officials did anything wrong at Waco.
04% = 1229 votes. Don’t know.

Grrr! I can't make this work, but here’s where I got the above article:
