8. Just a bit of irony here.

Opinion polls in my OPINION are mostly meaningless, at least the ones about gun laws. From my observations at least half the population has no idea about what gun laws we have now.

There are some questions that, if included in a poll, the answers would be seriously entertaining.
Here's a few of my suggested questions:
Please define "machine gun" and give an example. (Free reply essay)
Can you buy a cruise missile at a gun show? (yes/no)
Has an aircraft ever been shot down with a .50 cal rifle, domestically? (yes/no)
Is an assault weapon the same as an assault rifle? (yes/no)
