Will Gun owners vote for Kerry?

[Wickerman]

Seems to have been a hot topic of late. Will, indeed, Kerry have enough to offer the RKBA crowd?

edit for typo

[OpSomBlood]

1. There should be an option between #2 and #3....

"Yes because he's not George W. Bush."

That's essentially why I'm voting for Kerry.

[billbuckhead]

2. New polling in battleground states show even gunowning nascar dads for AWB

It's at Gun Guys in PDF form.

[MrBenchley]

4. A majority of gun owners support gun control

and the hard core gun crazies are one of the dwindling pockets of support the GOP has....

[slackmaster]

7. That's because they're DUMBASSES!

:evilgrin:

[MrBenchley]

8. Wow, so gun owners are dumbasses...

Or is it just the ones who are parents who are dumbasses?

[enfield collector]

10. that's an anti-RKBA site. did you actually visit it? n/t

[Columbia]

3. What are you asking?

Are you asking how gun owners as a whole will more likely vote? (As the title implies)

Or how each individual gun owner on this forum will vote? (As the poll questions imply)

[Wickerman]

6. The poll questions will provide

an untidy and statistically unsatisfactory answer to the title query. Sorry that was complicated.

[Columbia]

24. Okey dokey

[FeebMaster]

5. No one who is voting for Kerry is going to be casting that

vote because he is pro-gun. He will, of course, get a number of votes from gun owners.

I'd say no gun owner is going to vote for him based on his stance on guns, but I've met some gun owners who are real weirdos when it comes to supporting gun control.

[MrSandman]

9. A vote for Kerry...

He isn't Bush.

[JayS]

11. I'm voting for Edwards for Vice President. Kerry will get into...

...office on Edwards' coattails. :)

[MrBenchley]

12. Jinkies, the enthusiasm just LEAPS off the page, don't it?

Guess some people truly can't see beyond their little toys....or would rather pout and pretend there's some threat to those toys rather than act for the good of the country.

[MrBenchley]

14. And the excitement keeps building!!

(snicker)
Well, now I'm convinced that there are plenty of liberals who own guns...in a pig's eye.

[FeebMaster]

15. Yes the poll results certainly show gun owners

voting against Kerry in surprising numbers. :eyes:

[MrBenchley]

16. Stand back! It's a stampede!

Impressive the way them rootin' tootin' gun-totin' liberals are speaking right up, isn't it?

[MrBenchley]

17. Yup....sure shows

that our "pro gun democrats" are really concerned about vital issues and not just gripped by a puerile fixation....

[MrBenchley]

18. What's especially impressive

is the way our "pro gun democrats" pay attention to really imporetant issues, like environmental protection.

[FeebMaster]

19. Yup. No one is voting for Kerry.

The poll results show it plain as day.

[MrBenchley]

20. And of course there's the war

and Chimpy's foreign policy based on lies, bullying and spite....

[MrBenchley]

23. Jobs and the economy...

the importance of reversing the tilt to the ultra-wealthy...

[MrBenchley]

25. Rolling back the threat to womens' reproductive health

[MrBenchley]

26. Kerry will appoint honest representative judges instead of

far right wing extremist fuckwits dredged up by crooked Ed Meese...(Oh wait, the RKBA crowd will never get the verdicts they want then)....

[MrBenchley]

27. Programs to end US dependence on foreign oil...

[MrBenchley]

28. Gay rights...not open bigotry

[MrBenchley]

29. Using actual science, not faithhealing and corruption,

to determine questions of science...

[MrBenchley]

30. Affordable, high-quality health care

instad of outright looting by HMO's...

[MrBenchley]

31. A commitment to improved public schools

with adequate funding

[MrBenchley]

39. Restoring funding to the COPS program

to make neighborhoods safer...

[MrBenchley]

43. "Service For College"

Allowing 200,000 to get the advanced education they need to get ahead...

[MrBenchley]

44. Improve And Expand Rural Health Care

Of course, that isn't as important to some as pretending there's a threat to their popgun is....

[MrBenchley]

45. Fully funded veterans' benefits

such as health care...

[FeebMaster]

46. This is the most hilarious thread ever.

I give it two thumbs up.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[MrBenchley]

47. New technologies and alternative fuels

not wars for oil

[MrBenchley]

48. Incentives to create jobs at home

instead of encouraging outsourcing...

[MrBenchley]

49. Affordable prescriptions

and an overhaul of the ridiculous Medicare drug plan....

[MrBenchley]

71. Unlike the Chimp, Kerry's not a cowardly drunk

[MrBenchley]

74. A real leader instead of pretzel boy....

[MrBenchley]

75. Hope and opportunity instead of terror and hate...

Hey, how can they sell guns unless Americans hate and fear each other?

[RoeBear]

22. What the F do you want?

People, like myself, have overwhelmingly said that they will vote for Kerry.

[skippythwndrdog]

55. Yup. All 80,000,000 gun owners in the U.S. are Repugs

And I've got a nice waterfront lot 10 miles east of the Science center in Newark to sell ya.

[MrBenchley]

73. Gee, skippy....

I doubt there's naught but the lunatic fringe who are creaming their jeans for assault weapons and really believe the crap our "pro gun democrats" spout here daily.....

[Romulus]

13. voted # 2

I wanted Edwards as the main feature, not the opening act . . .

[gatlingforme]

21. I voted #2. Kerry has a balanced approach to guns.

[RoeBear]

32. I'm curious...

...who would be the other, other than Nader?

[MrBenchley]

33. I'm wondering which four idiots are voting for Chimpy

Wonder if there'd be a prize for guessing which ones?

[FeebMaster]

34. Probably some whiny gun grabbers

who think all gun owners are right wing nutjobs and were upset with the way the poll was going.

[MrSandman]

35. Dang Freepers...

Trying to convince us there are gun owning Democrats who will vote for Kerry.

[MTG250]

36. Right here

I am one gun owning democrat that will vote for Kerry. Because as I see it, I know more people that have had to have an abortion than have had to use their gun. So at this point, Kerry gets my vote.

[MrBenchley]

38. Yeah, the enthusiasm just jumps off the page...hahahahaha

[MrBenchley]

37. Gee, feeb, the poll is for GUN OWNERS

But it's hilarious tro see you try to spin this crap away....

[FeebMaster]

40. It sure is

and I figure when five whiny gun grabbers saw the way the poll was going, they voted for "No, I will vote for Bush" because seeing all those people voting for Kerry was making them uncomfortable.

[MrBenchley]

41. Hahahahahahaha...Yeah, the enthusiasm was breathtaking

[goju]

42. Nader, if he had a chance

Im not talking guns now, just getting out of Iraq. I dont think there is much difference between bush and Kerry on gun control. I doubt Kerry would do anything to upset staunch gun supporters.

If Nader had a chance to win, he would have my vote. Why are we in iraq again?

[MrBenchley]

50. So a third of our "pro gun democrats"

admit they are not voting for Kerry...and SIX of them are actually planning to vote for the AWOL drunk.

Telling, isn't it?

[FeebMaster]

51. Gee, shouldn't Democrats be capitalized?

[FeebMaster]

52. Also "pro gun democrats" would really look better

as pro-gun "Democrats." It's less ambiguous. That is to say it actually makes sense.

[MrBenchley]

70. Actual Democrats would be better still

but instead we've got "pro gun democrats"

[FeebMaster]

72. Yes that's my point exactly.

Which is why pro-gun "Democrats" looks better. "pro gun democrats" is ambiguous at best. Are you saying these "pro gun democrats" aren't pro-gun?

Also, you should capitalize Democrat. Someone might get offended.

[ornotna]

53. I support the ban 100%

And I am a gun owner (Sig p230, Remington golden sabers, for you gun owners)
I see no reason why anyone would need these guns (assault weapons)

[FeebMaster]

54. I see no reason why anyone needs

a handgun like a Sig p230. Please turn yours in to the nearest police department since you have no need for it.

[ornotna]

58. Seeing as how you don't know me

or anything about me or what I do for a living, you really don't know that do you. So you arbitrarily just think everyone should give up their guns?

[FeebMaster]

59. Why would anyone need a handgun?

"So you arbitrarily just think everyone should give up their guns?"

Do you?

[ornotna]

62. Personal protection

pure and simple.
It's not a toy, I don't show it to people, I don't play with it, I don't let others play with it, I don't brag about having it to others. Maybe I don't "need" it all the time, but I feel better having it if I were to need it.

[FeebMaster]

63. Nope.

I still see no reason a person would need those guns. (handguns)

[ornotna]

64. That's your opinion

and I respect that. I wish the world was a place that I could share your feelings. I don't get a high owning it, just feel that it is necessary right now.

[FeebMaster]

66. Do you not see the parallel between what I am saying

about handguns and what you said about assault weapons?

[ornotna]

68. Uh, no

Why, are you expecting an invasion? Besides those things are real hard to modify to make them usable for concealed carry. I just don't see a use for them.

[FeebMaster]

69. and plenty of people don't see a use for a handgun. (nt)

[skippythwndrdog]

56. If you are indeed referring to the AWB, read it first

You'll be able to make a more intelligent post about whether or not you support it.

As it currently reads, it's akin to banning tail fins on cars.

[FeebMaster]

57. Speaking of which

no one needs tail fins on cars. I think we should ban them.

[skippythwndrdog]

60. Hmm. Banning fins.

Dangferously close to that evil Jarts reference, Feeb.

[FeebMaster]

61. What are you one of those jart grabbers?

If only you jart grabbers would read the text of the Jart Ban you'd see it's just a feel good regulation.

[skippythwndrdog]

65. I'm not a jart grabber

I could put my eye out with one of those things.

See! They're dangerous!

[FeebMaster]

67. That's exactly what a jart grabber would say. (nt)

[Wickerman]

76. Locking

thanks for your input.
