I don't like the way the poll was worded. It seems like the host thinks we would be returning to the 'wild west days'.

However, I compared some 'modern' cities to the 'old west towns' and maybe we should return to the 'wild west days'. We just might be safer.

Poll results as of 06-28 @ 10:30 AM:

Absolutely! Lets go back to the Wild, Wild West.
70.73 %

No. Our current gun law is perfect.
26.02 %

No. I think we should have stricter gun laws.
3.25 %

The results of this poll seem like the average for polls across the web in the past few days. Somewhere around 3/4 of folks responding favoring gun rights, favoring the decision of SCOTUS, etc. Yet when you hear some of the reporting of local and national news outlets, they seem to convey that a lotof folks have different ideas. Guess they gotta put the spin on things to make for a 'better' story...

On a side note, the 'video of the day' on the same page as the above poll...Cows With Guns?

I say it is fairly clear by the way the poll is worded (Absolutely - Lets go back to the wild wild west!) that Dave and this station are against the idea. But it appears that it did not sway the voters much. Great job on the interview Mike!
