Left wingers love to paint gun owners and wannabe gun owners with a broad brush, so let's have a poll!

Patience is a virtue!

BTW, the poll is private.

Edit: You can select more than one option!

Boring, you should ask a mod to make it public.

That might bias the results, ashura. How many people would admit to wanting a gun to shoot their family if the results of the poll are public?

Erm, I have to admit I didn't take into consideration that particular group of people. :p

Damn, I forgot to put an option "For aesthetic reasons (ie. collector)". Oh well, that can come under 'other'.

I think that a person should be allowed to have a weapon if they pass an exam and register the thing. Also, no felons or people with medical problems associated with insanity should be allowed to have them.

To protect myself from manic trigger happy gun toting Americans who come to "liberate" me. :D

No wait, a gun will be pretty useless. I'll open a hamburger/coke stand instead. :D

this poll means apsolutly nothing and is inheriently biased.

You have made it private AND you have made it multiple choice so how exactly do you expect the results to mean anything?

I'll make my votes known.

I picked all of the middle group beginning with "protect my property" down through "sense of security."

I chose this:

'' don't want a gun, and think that my fellow citizens should be prevented from obtaining guns ''

How's that denial thingy doing for you?

By the way, come and get it.

What??? Get gun from you? Do you honestly think i would waste money just to come and obtain something from you? A bit of integrity goes a long way... by the way... whose sock puppet are you?

My grandfather's neighbor kept a shotgun around to do maintenance - trim trees, take care of hornet nests, make holes in things he needed holes in.

Of course you won't come and obtain my guns from me.

You couldn't.

Which is why you know so much about sock puppetry that you see it everywhere.

My votes

Hunt animals (venison is wonderful and Duck is fantastic)
Defend my property/family/life from criminals (I live two blocks from the Sheriff's office and it still takes them two hours to get here.)
Defend myself/family against foreign invasion/occupation. (Not as scared of my own government as i am the other idiotic leaders of the world. But I do agress this is highly unlikely)
Shoot for sport (Skeet is a blast.)
Shoot for fun (Ever got to fire a .50BMG sniper rifle? I have.)
Have a sense of security (Just having one let's me know that if the fecal matter hit the rotarr oscilator, I at least have some options other than bleeding.)
