This is a recent poll on the Assault weapons ban. I thought it was interesting.

But I bet 90% of those people don't know anything about the details of that bill and cast their vote based on name alone.
i agree with that, though i think there was another contibuting factor also.
the irrational feelings that many people have of "Guns are bad!!!".
I do not feel that way, i feel that they can be dangerous. I also feel very uncomfortable around them and treat them with respect, kinda like a chain saw.
Equally probable is that this was linked to on a lot of anti-gun sites and the sample is way screwed up as a result.
It would make sense, as the pro-gun people are happy the ban has expired, hence not to worried about making sure their views are represented in online polls, while the anti-gun crowd in incensed and motivated on this issue at the moment.
