Gun ban lobby's own web poll shows support for CCW

This probably wasn't what they were hoping for.

A group of gun ban extremists by the name of "Women Against Gun Violence" have posted a web poll asking visitors "Should civilians be allowed to carry concealed weapons?"

The website promotes its guiding principles to be:

1. We have the right to be free from gun violence in our homes, streets, schools, places of work and communities.
2. The presence and availability of firearms pose a significant threat to the safety of our communities.
3. Gun violence is a critical public health, safety, social and economic issue costing thousands of lives and billions of dollars every year.
4. To prevent gun violence, access to and availability of handguns, assault weapons and ammunition must be reduced.
5. Safety mechanisms must be maximized on guns that are produced and sold and consumer product safety laws must apply equally to firearms.

Is their message getting out? Must we reduce the availablity of guns to law-abiding citzens? Must we try to circumvent to Constitution by classifying gun violence as a public health issue, thereby allowing unelected, anti-gun CDC bureaucrats to endorce gun control policies on America? Is the presence of guns what is threatening our communities? Can we ever be "gun free"?

The WAGs' own readers don't think so:
