No. The guns aren t the problem; it's the killers themselves.

If you'd like to "influence" the voting, then vote multiple times.
On election day in Chicago the phrase is "Vote Early and Vote Often"
"But 007, my screen won't let me see the voting buttons anymore."
Answer: Just delete the individual Denverpost COOKIES
and
Vote again
http://www.electrictoolbox.com/selectively-delete-cookies-firefox/
In Firefox-> Go to Options->Options->Privacy---> Remove Individual Cookie
Search for Denverpost
Select and Delete them
Refresh the Denverpost page and Voila'
Note: Yes, if they are tracking IP addresses on their end, the votes will be filtered...
But if they are NOT, then they will tally up
voted we are winning 63%-31% 997-502
At least the poll questions weren't biased. [facepalm]
I wouldn't be surprised that at the end of polling the numbers skew towards a ban. Liberal rag whose stats change to suit their agenda.

Look at it now. It just jumped 10% for the anti gun group in like 5 minutes. I literally just showed my wife and it was 29% and a few minutes later she voted and it had jumped to 39% in a moter of a couple minutes Awful fishy?
I just refreshed the screen and its now 42%
Either they are messing with it or the word is out to the anti gun crowd

All's fair in love, war, and assault weapons bans? I agree that it isn't the wisest thing to do, but no one can say that they aren't doing the same thing. Either way, with the "cheating" by both sides the poll is a moot point that doesn't really prove anything.

The "results" will be whatever the Post decided it will be before the put the poll up.
Well, some anti must be running better automation or MSM spread, cause we all just got spanked by 500 votes.

You are not referring to MAC address changer? Or are you meaning a program to change actual address via a VPN of some sort.

No, I was referring to Mac computers, sorry. It's a program that proxies your IP through a randomizer that moves it around. When I get home I'll let you know what exactly it is.

"Killing a lot of people very quickly". I don't know about you, but that sounds like nuclear bomb to me but not any shoulder fired weapon. They could be wanting us to not pay attention to what they are planning to do, so don't fall for it, always be aware of the current situation, no matter how much it hurts.
