I haven't studied the polls results but the review here leads me to believe we'll see this poll again when the anti-gun agenda is tuned up.

[amazement, extreme] You mean leftist extremists fake polls for base political ends? [/amazement]

Just read the results.  It would really interesting to have a panel of questions to test the pollee's relationship to facts.  For example:
--True or False---Gun dealers at gun shows do not have to conduct background checks
--True or False---Government investigators are prohibited from gathering gun purchase information on suspects
--True or False---There exists a well-defined process for removing one's name from a terror watch list

You get the point.  I would find it fascinating to weigh the poll results by knowledge of facts.

If knowledge of facts had any bearing on politics, the entire world would be different.

Seldom would an incumbent be re-elected.
