Yes. Increased regulations on firearms are necessary to prevent another tragedy like the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary. 6.85% (1,764 votes)

Unsure. It's important to keep the weapons out of the wrong hands, but this may not be the solution. 1% (257 votes)

My heart goes out to those affected by the Sandy Hook tragedy. However, let me quote jeffery R Snyder;

"But to ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the lawless will allow. ... For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding."

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Up to 93.21% now. But wait, I thought the "vast majority" of Americans favored stronger gun laws? Huh.

It's a shame you can't reply to specific posts in the comments section. Some folks could really use some education.
It didn't take long for the NRA boogeyman to get mentioned though.

You can reply to specific comments in the comments section. I've done it several times today.

Voted, don't see this being used if it doesn't support their agenda. Maybe it will make them think before they write though...
