sarisataka: Taking things out of context is not a really progressive action.

I used the obligatory dots, 3 of them, to demonstrate there was text in between what I excerpted, nor did I try to misrepresent with what I excerpted. I don't need post the entire first amendment to cite 'freedom of speech'.
Your first sentence about 'majority decides' appeared to agree with the OP poll results which showed a 92% majority support for allowing ccw & open carry.

sarisatake: I am familiar with how internet polls work. But if it showed support for gun control it would be taken as absolute gospel by your "fellow control enthusiasts".

Baloney conjecture. Most all fellow democrats would suspect a faulty sampling.
You are 'familiar with how internet polls work', yet you didn't mention that in your reply to lone pirate, who wrote:

lone pirate, facetiously: 1. Just more proof that we need to repeal the 2A and confiscate every gun in civilian hands
your reply: Wasn't it last week We were told majority decides for everyone? And the week before we were assured no one wants to confiscate guns? And the week before that promised no one says you can't keep a gun to hunt? So since it appears gun control is based on a bundle of lies, why should gun owners support gun control?

There was NO disagreement with what lone pirate wrote - it appeared you were agreeing with lone pirate's facetious post that the OP internet poll was some kind of inverse pro gun 'proof', & tacking on your additional pro gun opinion.
So by your reply to lone pirate it is sequitur you were concurring to the misleading poll results, moreso since you didn't challenge them. There is no other logical interpretation that I see, unless you agreed with other posters who thought he/she was serious.

sarisatak: Do you care to comment on the other two, more pertinent, questions I posed?

Your questions are specious. No serious democrat gun control proposal wants to confiscate all guns, nor deprive hunters of being able to hunt.
