Poll question: Firearm law perception poll #2 (please vote)
Advertisements [?]

STOP! DON'T VOTE YET!!!





Thank you for stopping and reading these instructions first *cough* SQUATCH *cough*. :-)

The purpose of this poll is to see how the general public perceives one aspect of American firearm laws. I'm not trying to find your opinion, whether or not something should or shouldn't be permitted. Nor am I trying to find out what the law is.

I'm trying to find out how well the general public has been educated by the popular and news media, the politicians, the activists, and the lobbyists on this issue. I want to know what people THINK the law is. What their impression is.

If you DON'T know what the law is, I would appreciate it if you voted your perception and kicked the thread.

If you DO know what the law is, I would appreciate it if you abstained from revealing what the law is, voted "I know what the law is" instead, and kicked the thread.


If nobody has disclosed what the law it 24 hours or so after posting, I'll post it for general edification.

Question: is it your impression that the since-expired 1993 Federal Assault Weapons Ban regulated fully-automatic rifles and pistols?




For the purposes of this poll, "fully-automatic rifles and pistols" are guns that, when the trigger is held down, fire two or more rounds.


And special thanks to Ms. Toad for her helpful suggestion in the last poll.
