The wording of some of these "survey's" is hilarious. Voted.

 

[oneounceload]

currently at 50% - vote folks

 

[Vyacheslav]

i don't think there is such thing as a "clip" that holds more than 30 rounds

 

[chevyman097]

High capacity "ammunition clips" huh......

 

[speaksoftly]

The vote is now in our favor. I wonder what these newspaper people think when they post a survey like this, it holds course for a bit, then someone posts it on here and we bombard it into a 2A friendly result. They probably think it's some sort of NRA conspiracy haha. Thanks for posting though I wouldn't mind if they outlawed 30 round clips as I don't think those exist.

I don't mind if they restrict high capacity clips, just leave the magazines alone!!

[chevyman097]

I didnt even vote as I dont really know what these "high capacity ammunition clips" are.

Silly journalist...I dunno if I can even call them that.

 

[Ala Dan]

So far, we are winning 62% to 38%~!

 

[Texas Gun Person]

Whoever was given the task of writing that polls question and the choices for response should be removed from their position.

Oh and we are winning.

 

[merlinfire]

The wording is pretty bad....
"Should the Florida Legislature ban high-capacity ammunition clips, like those used in Arizona shooting?"

Maybe they should say something like "Should the Florida Legislature ban standard capacity magazines, which the SS used to murder people execution style?"


They want to inject emotion into the debate instead of reason.

 

[merlinfire]

Also gotta love the "anti" position:

"There is no need for anybody to have an ammunition clip that fires more than 30 bullets without reloading. "

Where do I find this "gun within a gun"? People have been buying $400 glocks all this time, when all they really needed was a $35 'clip'

It looks like you can vote multiple times, so click away.

 

[merlinfire]

It looks like you can vote multiple times, so click away.

perhaps, but its fairly trivial to exclude multiple votes from the same ip in the final results.

 

[Axel Larson]

Antis might want to actually know what they are talking about one of these days. Hopefully that dark day will never come. A 30 round clip? do these say come for Mosin Nagants

 

[W.E.G.]

to exclude multiple votes from the same ip in the final results.

I hope they do.

Wouldn't surprise me if one of the Brady-types was clicking that poll like a pump-handle.

 

[sarduy]

73% in our favor.

 

[sarduy]

so they want to ban 30 round "clip"

they sure don't know what they are talking about.

 

[sarduy]

if they bann those "clips" as they call it to 10rds limit, they should limit car's speed up to 45 miles so it stop "drunk driving". in the end, you are going to end up with a drunk driver running over pedestrians at 45mph.

god... they are just stupid.

They should ban thouse high capacity bottles -- nobody needs more than six shots!

 

[killchain]

Oh stop it already with the "clip" thing.

Most of the anti voters don't care whether we call it a clip or a magazine.

 

[happygeek]

In all seriousness, what's the largest clip ever made for any firearm? The largest I know of is 10 rounds, like the SKS's. 5.56 to this day still ships on 10 round stripper clips, 3 clips to a box, so you can speed load your magazines.

 

[JTHunter]

Now at 75%.

 

[doc2rn]

^ Yup still at 75%

 

[oerllikon]

It doesnt look like the anti-gunners win this vote. Like it matters, I think the legislation will vote whatever THEY want
