Looks like they were not getting the votes they wanted so they took their bat and ball and went home.

Ya gotta love the way they worded the responses the voters have the option of selecting... " banning these guns improve public safety" vs. "banning ASSAULT weapons is a TERRIBLE idea"

They still lost the vote- probably not the results they were hoping for. ;o)

 

[Arioch]

Can't find it. They have a question regarding drug costs up.

 

[brass spitter]

Yes. Banning these guns would improve public safety.

I'm sure the ban will have every gang-banger waiting on line at the local cop shop ready to turn over a weapon in return for a $25 coupon for sneakers. Then again, they might not be so public-safety minded.

Gee--how to vote?
