Still 79% pro 21% against. 24446 responders. Pretty great numbers. Politicians should listen!
It's the campus administrators that should be listening. Tn State law does not forbid carrying on Campus. It only supports the campii if they want to be "gun free zones".

Welcome to our world Ch1pster23, good to have you aboard.

The interesting thing about these unscientific polls is the resultant use (if any) of the results.

Those of the opposite opinion from ours, which unfortunately most often includes the press, would say that the above results prove nothing. It only shows that the proponents of more guns in society are rushing to artificially inflate the numbers in our favor and do not reflect the feelings/beliefs of the overall population.

Had the numbers been reversed, they would cheer, crow and hold up banners proclaiming the will of the people to disarm the populace.

If you ask a valid queston, you must be prepared to accept the validity of the answer(s).

While not "scientific", it should help to bring the topic to the front burner, and add at least some "validity" to the argument.
