Down 4.4419% since last night's last review...... Where are America's gun rights supporters, or are there any left in CBS-land?

Florida is an interesting shift away from the RKBA. This is not good.

To ME the poll is USELESS. And discounting the seemingly Info Tech heavy presence among members of this forum, the average conservative gun owner who does go to that page is more likely to vote only once, not even thinking that it could be done multiple times. Whereas the demographic of liberal younger people (and more tech-savvy) many of whom are also more prone to thinking of cheating as an opportunity to succeed or "win" will perhaps, like I stated before, vote until they get bored. I want to see Gallup or Rasmussen put out the results of a poll asking this sort of thing before I get too worried.

Interesting...if you hover over the globe (next to FL, SC, & GA) you can see international responses:

84% Yes
16% No
(2,327 Votes)

I'm actually surprised to see the international "No" votes as high as 16%.

It might be wishful thinking on my part, but I kinda' feel the way HP does. The various news blogs seem to be pretty much nay votes on gun control but very much pro loonie control. You can bet our elected dweebs have people watching these things, as does the NRA. The appointed trough feeders and at least One more who are not concerned about re-election are the ones to watch starting the day after the current POTUS' coronation and gala party night.

That said, there will have to be offerings/compromises made. My bet is that it will most certainly be "high cap" magazines and perhaps waiting periods for purchases. I don't even know what the alleged "gun show loophole" is, but it will also be on the table.

BTW, my (ample) gut feel was that Romney would displace the curren POTUS. Maybe, I'll be right this time. :roll:

The supposed "gun show loophole" is anyone making a private, face-to-face, non-FFL sale at a gun-show. Just another way to regulate the private sale of property and to make it easier for the Feds to track ALL the firearms sold, for whatever reason.

I think you were right both times. I also think the scale will be tipped this time as well.
