Instead of the question, how about a poll on the subject of gun rights.

[YoursTruly]

Do you support Ramos's right to buy, keep and bear arms? (don't be chicken)​

 

[EvilCat Breath]

He just doesn't have a right to shoot children.

 

[Canon Shooter]

I voted yes, but only if there was nothing legally precluding him from purchasing one.

The problem with your question is that it's asked from a position of hindsight. Of course, anyone who knew what he would do if sold a gun would find a reason, regardless of how weak, to keep him from buying a gun.

Given everything that was, there was no legal reason to not sell him a gun. That's the unfortunate, yet inescapable, reality...

 

[hjmick]

Based on the information available at the time of purchase, or based on what we know now?

On what basis would you deny him the right to buy a firearm?

Do you support Ramos's right to buy, keep and bear arms? (don't be chicken)​

Nobody vote for this idiot's poll.

It is a bullshit loaded question.

Everybody who thanks the OP is an idiot say aye.

How in the world can a tragedy involving a maniac's access to a firearm be translated into a "poll about gun rights" when the forensic evidence isn't even in on the shooting? Can we classify the phony poll as "never let a tragedy go to waste"?

 

[Confederate Soldier]

Hindsight's a bitch, just like the people who saw shit and didn't say anything.

Are we PSYCHIC?

 

[miketx]

Aye

 

[Devils_Advocate]

Loaded question with the attempt to bait posters into a discussion based on a question you didn’t fully write…

Do I support his right before he shot kids?

Yes and why?

Unless you have a specific law on the books that could have prevented his purchase of the firearm he couldn’t be deny…

Now you will make the case but what we know now which isn’t right to do seeing no one knew what he was going to do when he obtained the firearms…

Do you support Ramos's right to buy, keep and bear arms? (don't be chicken)​

Do you support John Wilkes Booth's right to attended the theatre?

Apples to Volkswagens

 

[Missourian]

Apples to Volkswagens

Same, same.

If nothing happened, allowing a Confederate sympathizer in close proximity to Lincoln is a moot point ... but after he assassinated Lincoln...who would allow him to be there in retrospect?

When did you stop beating your wife? (don’t be chicken)

 

[Big Bend Texas]

If we start limiting rights on the basis someone might abuse them and commit crimes in the future you can kiss all our rights goodbye.

Lets rephrase that poll question to would you support Ramo's right to buy keep and bear arms if you knew for absolute sure he was going to committ mass murder. If you answer yes to the current poll question you are accused of supporting mass murder if you answer no your are accused of standing in the way of potential new gun laws that could be overly restrictive and maybe even unconstitutional.
