This Ceasefire-Oregon weenie put a poll up on his blog's main page. Hit it hard!

Well, assuming that he means stricter in the sense of even more controlling and repressive, I'm very much against it.Do you consider yourself for or against stricter gun legislation?
Since Baldr decided to shut down his poll (due to the numbers not going in his favor), I would like to invite everyone to this mirror: http://www.wallsofthecity.net/2011/02/in-the-interests-of-honesty.html
Same question, same answers, but a few small differences in how the poll will be handled .

Results From My Quick Poll
Yesterday I posted a simple poll on this blog. In the poll, I asked, "I'd like to get an idea about the philosophy of visitors here: Do you consider yourself for or against stricter gun legislation?" And, boy, was there a response! Thank you for responding.
Here is the final tally at the time I posted this: (out of 600 votes)
Very much for stricter legislation: 10 (1%)
Somewhat for stricter legislation: 2 (<1%)
I could go either way: 0 (0%)
Somewhat against stricter legislation: 1 (<1%)
Very much against stricter legislation: 586 (97%)
No opinion, but thought I'd like to have my vote counted: 0 (0%)
Well, I should come clean and admit something. My intention wasn't really to find out what percent of visitors were pro-gun or pro-control (truthfully, I think most are pro-gun since most comments and trackback links come from them). My intention was actually to test the ethics of the pro-gun folks. But I figured I'd give you the chance.
You see, guys, if you had been representing yourselves in an honest manner, the number of hits would have remained relatively constant from previous days, whatever the results from the poll. But if you instead put out the word on forums and tweets and such that there was a poll that needed to be overrun with responses from your side, hits would go way up and the results would be skewed. I figured that would be the case, but you far exceeded my expectations.
Now, before you call me a bigot and a liar (as you often do), let me show the evidence. On THIS and THIS pro-gun forums, "DanM" started a discussion with,
"This Ceasefire-Oregon weenie put a poll up on his blog's main page. Hit it hard!"
The readers didn't disappoint.
It ISN'T the guns that are killing people. It's the HANDS of anti-social, compassionless retrobates- that OPERATE the guns, the knives, the hammers, the baseball bats, and the automobiles that kill people.
