Hundreds of young, black males die on the streets of Chicago every darn year. A psychotic freak kills some white children at school in a provably rare act, and NOW you want to talk "gun safety"? Why is that?

Feinstein's list of banned guns includes several hunting rifles. The Saiga & VEPRs are hunting rifles as defined by Clinton's 1998 trade agreement with Russia. She even bans the Saiga shotgun, which was also OK with Clinton. She also lists the Streetsweeper and Stryker shotguns which have already been banned by the ATF as destructive devises!

The list includes just about any rifle and shotgun that's semi automatic, whether it's a hunting rifle or is already a low capacity weapon. About 90% of the rifles in the country would be banned.

Patriotsrevenge needs the class on stasticis. 500 out of 9,752,073 would be stasticallt insignigfient. In other a wasted poll. It would require a minimum of 9,000 if the poll was conducted in a manner which included all of the demographic variables.

"There is already a law in place... "Thou shalt not kill"

Yet another person on WRAL confusing religion/bible with the law. Yes, there are laws against murder, but the bible is NOT the law here. This is NOT Iran. This is NOT a "Christian nation", it is a nation with a majority of Christians. There's a HUGE difference. Why can't people understand that?

make a good point and it will not get posted. They have to have approval from their DNC masters.

Why won't WRAL discuss those results from their OWN POLL? I grew up under Communism and the selective reporting I see from WRAL reminds me an awful lot of Pravda. Shame, shame, shame.

Are you going to censor this too, tovarish (comrade)?- rargo

WRAL CENSORS- are you listening? i'd say about 50-65% of my very reasonable posts never make it past the wral censors.

I think people who support expanded background checks are fooling themselves as to the government's end game here. While expanded background checks at "guns shows" seem reasonable to some, ultimately, the government seeks to regulate all gun transactions, which is unacceptable to me. Will the government decide if my father can leave me an old family heirloom shotgun in his will? Can I give my boys rifles for Christmas? If someone goes through a tough time and is prescribed an antidepressant, is that person now ineligible to posses a firearm? Don't be fooled by the rhetoric.

"A survey of 500? out of a population of 9,752,073. Biased much WRAL?"

Yes a survey of 500, it's called statistics. I could recommend a tutor if you'd like.
