Gotta love the way this is worded, if you don't think a "gun ban" is a good idea, the response is "heck, no", sounds like people who support their 2nd Amdt. rights are seen as children and are being treated as such. The proper response for that should have bee "No" or "No, we need to arm the Citizens further to keep this from happening again".
As for the response of "Yes, but only for idiots"...what the hell were they smoking when they wrote that? Who gets to decide whom is considered an idiot?
Anybody else feel slighted on this, or am I just being too sensitive?

No, your not being overly sensitive. The wording of the poll is crass. and makes anyone who votes "no" as reactionary.

Also makes me think that these kind of stunts are being perpetrated by the very same people that want guns banned. You kow, the type of people that say how dangerous guns are and all that... they're probably behind all these shootings in the first place. How else do they get away with it most of the time?

I still think a ban on stupidity would be better...

...Another point most of these kinds of "reports" fail to mention is that FACT that if you are an anti-gunner and your house gets robbed or you get mugged, you seem to drift toward the pro-gun side for defense.... hmmm. Strange.
