Why don't polling agencies ask questions like this one?

Would you be okay with George Bush taking your gun if it meant keeping us safe from Terrorism?

1. I've been suggesting that this could happen

if we let Bush get away with spying on us-if the Constitution is dead, so is the 2nd Amendment.....

2. To complete their agenda they will have to do this at some point

The proliferation of guns in this country is the only way we could topple a fascist regime like bu$h's. They must know this could happen once they have take all other liberties from the people.
At some point even the stupid republican idiots would have to wake up and say we need to take this SOB out. How far that will be down the road to dictatorship is unknown. But the bu$h regime will have to capture the guns before it can rest assured that they have total domination of the people of the US.

The scary part about the question is that 15 to 25% of the public would say it is OK.

3. HECK NO!!

to quote Plutarch (Moralia, III, Apophthegmata Laconica, "Sayings of Spartans," attributed to Leonidas):

Пάλιν δ̀ὲ̀ του̑ Ξέρξου γράψαντος 'πέµψον τὰ ὅπλα' ἀντέγραψε 'µολὼν λαβέ'

Roughly translated:

"To Xerxes' demand "Hand over your arms," he (Leonidas) retorted, "Come and take them."

4. If anyone pays them to ask that, they will

the polling agencies I get calls from are always working for another a third party. SO if a group thought that asking that question and collecting numbers on it might benefit them then that question would be asked
