A guy at work sent this to me I figured some people would like to vote on this.

It's up to 97% at 2:45pm today, Monday. Vote for this help, we will need it or our grandchildren will.

Subject: Gun issue - Only 5 seconds

Gun Issue - Only 5 seconds

Due to the current presidential stand on Gun Laws, USA Today is running a Quick Question on-line.

IT simply asks, Does the 2nd Amendment give individuals the right to bear arms?

It is frustrating to me that "we the people" are even asked to reiterate a known right that has been around for over 200 years!

This quick questionnaire gives you the right to make your opinion heard. It takes 5 seconds. It is still a live link. Our new Attorney General has already said this is one of his major issues.

This takes literally 2 clicks to complete. Please vote on this gun issue question with USA Today. It will only take a few seconds of your time. Then pass the link on to all the pro gun folks you know. Hopefully these results will be published later this month.

First - vote on this one. Second - launch it to other folks and have THEM vote - then we will see if the results get published. Vote in the USA Today poll - click on the link below. The Question is: Does the Second Amendment give individuals the right to bear arms?

I did it.

2.8 million votes so far, and 97% vote yes. Seems to be a landslide!

No politician in history could get 97% of the votes. They need to pay attention

Of course, it's been running for a couple of years and been passed around like this link was, so it's not really representative of the American people as a whole. Unfortunately.

well, I dug around a little. This poll was actually part of a story done in

Funny that it is still going, and the "yes" votes are still accumulating

Well, I guess this is the right place to put this, but the Alamo Area Friends of the NRA is having a benefit banquet on the 30th at 5:30pm at Pedrotti's Ranch on 1560 (Hausman) just outside 1604. Tickets are $30 each (unless you feel like donating more, of course).

There will be a live auction, a silent auction, various art and custom knives and firearms and other such stuff. I've never been to something like this, but I'm seriously considering it. Would anyone else possibly be interested in going?

See http://www.friendsofnra.org/eventdocs/Texas/stx29onlineflyer.pdf for more info and http://www.friendsofnra.org/EventDocs.aspx?eid=5005&sid=45 to buy tickets online.

And still fairly on topic...

Love the shirt.

Laws
that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are
neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make
things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they
serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man
may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
--Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria in On Crimes and Punishment (1764).
