Another poll

No, not here. But here. Does the Second Amendment give individuals the right to bear arms? Out of 13K votes, the good guys are winning with 98%

    I love the way they word it. Technically, by that wording, the answer is no, because the Bill of Rights doesn’t “give” us any rights. The BoR simply recognizes rights that all men innately possess.

    I agree that women should not be allowed to have guns.

    Rather odd that the militia language in USC has not been updated to include women, don’t ya think?

    I don’t think women were ever barred in the U.S. from owning weapons…

    Well, according to Brian’s interpretation of the Bill of Rights, it only pertains to men.

    Just in case you are not being facetious, “men” is used the context of humankind. JIC 🙂

    Exactly. I have yet to see the term “womankind” in the dictionary.

    1. It’s entertaining to see that there’s a poll asking people whether what was written by the founding fathers was written??

    2. Still 98% Yes with 15k+ voting

    3. Poll question: According to the US Constitution, did the founding fathers intend for “free press” to mean newspapers should pick and choose facts to report based on what suits their statist political agenda?

  9. Matt Says:

    Brian is absolutely right.

    The author of the poll question either has no grasp on the concept of the origin of rights, or is deliberately making the question confusing.

  10. Rustmeister Says:

    No, they’re just asking the question to the “Average Joe” (and Jane).

    I don’t see any nefarious purpose there.

  11. Cactus Jack Says:

    20008 now with 98% yes, 1% no, and 0% undecided. In case anyone didnt notice, those figures come out to 99%. Where’s the other 1%?

  12. UNHchabo Says:

    They used integers to display the results.

    It’s likely something like 98.4%, 1.2%, and 0.4%, so none of them round up, hence the “lost” percentage point.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
