Surprisingly pro at 79% for ccw and 121 votes.. its like imaginary internet points but hey... its your voice.

Not surprising.  Most NJ.com polls relating to Guns usually show very pro-gun results.  That's why the polls always disappear after about 6 hours never to be seen again.

Its now at 80.87% yes, 334 votes.

17.92% No, 74 votes

And 1.21%, 5 people can't think for themselves and need someone to decide for them.

I'm actually surprised at the layout of the poll.  It's a very simple "yes, no, don't know".  Usually NJ.com's polls have answers that dilute the stance they oppose.. such as "Yes, yes with training, no".

 

I still think it will disappear in a few hours and will never be published.

Numbers are still climbing in our favor. I love how they refer to it as "packing"

I totally agree with that.  Plus, anti-gun politicians love to throw around questionable statistics, like how 90% of people are in favor of universal background checks; but you will never hear them citing figures like these.

Maybe it won't be published because of the fact that it's hardly a scientific poll?

[Eff P 0]

81.6%  (1,103) Yes votes now.  1,351 total votes.

 

In related news to media bias.  Has anyone read the Record's blip on Mueller's being affirms in the 3rd Circuit?  

 

 

 

 

A federal appellate court this week upheld New Jersey laws that require gun owners to get a permit to carry handguns outside their homes. Now, that decision could provide a legal boost to gun-control groups preparing to fight a second challenge to the gun restrictions in an upcoming New Jersey Supreme Court case. 

 

I'm trying to read the article as objective as I possibly can.  There is absolutely no mention of the facts surrounding the case and how to meet the standard of "justifiable need" is nearly impossible to reach.  New Hampshire is looking more and more appealing everyday.

Not that it really matters, but to make ourselves feel better

Dare I to dream that we in the PRNJ may someday be afforded the same rights as the majority of states in our union.....one can only hope I guess.

[TommyGun 5]

Thank you for voting!

Yes. The criminals wouldn't know who was packing, so they'd be less likely to strike. 83.31%  (1,487 votes) 

 

 

No. More guns will spur more violence, not less.  15.85%  (283 votes) 

 

 

I'm not sure where I stand on this one.  0.84%  (15 votes) 

 

 

 

Total Votes: 1,785

I want to know who the "dipshit" 405 voters are who said more guns create more violence. All of my guns have been getting along just fine together.

That's a lot of people who feel strongly enought to vote. I half those people donated $25 to Niki Trunk, we could potentially displace Sweeney and send a louder message than all of these polls and letters put together.

She's the Republican challenger to Sweeney. Claims to be very pro-2A in response to a letter I sent her before donating to her campaign.

 

This is one of the few competitive races in the state. If we can displace Sweeney, that will be a major shot across the bow to the antigunners.

I wish you guys would give them a pole. Problem solved for the next generation.

[Arbelest 29]

Thanks for the link I never was a fan of Sweeney...

[Arbelest 29]

On the other hand he is the senate house leader and its good to have a SJ person in charge of that rather then a North Jersey representative. <that opinion is biased based on my location though.

What has he done for South Jersey other than get the Rte 322 bypass in Mullica Hill named "The Steve Sweeney Way". As a gun owner, 2nd Amendment Advocate and South Jersey resident, I can't wait to see him gone. Oh, don't forget his personal horse center in Logan Tsp. We need new blood. Start with Sweeney. Send a message to Trenton.

1. See that all the time and I laugh every time I see it.

2. GC EMS love the Dream Park because they get good OT for the stand-by's there.  Wait a second... Sweeney pushed the GC EMS....

 

Any idea who would take his spot as senate president if he loses?  I likely won't vote for him but I don't know how I'll feel in a few months.

[Shawnmoore81 623]

Someone even worse

Why would you possibly vote for him? You like the bills he has put forward?
