Reply #42: rather than a poll, which can easily be skewed

I'd point out that not one single politician in DC, even the fringe ones looking for any votes possible, even the republicans, wants to repeal the gun laws. That's how little support there is, if there was a movement, someone would be running for the council, or even an ANC spot calling for it. That would get them lots of attention, a good thing for a fringe candidate. But not one has said it's a good idea.

better than polls, if you can't convince any politician or wanna-be to take up your issue, then no one cares. no one at all.
