The San Diego Police Officers Association polled it's members about gun control on the 5th May 1997 and published the results in their official newsletter, "The Informant". Note that the actual questions asked are stated here to prevent confusion. Anyone who has taken a survey knows the pitfalls of vague or misleading questions. I know I certainly do. 1.....Do you support an assault weapons ban? NO - 82.1% 2.....Do you support a limitation on magazine capacity? NO - 82.2% 3.....Do you support a law-abiding private citizen's right to carry a concealed weapon? YES - 84.9% 4.....Do you believe that armed, law abiding citizens are a threat to you as a police officer? NO - 87.8% 5.....Have recent gun laws (weapons ban, magazine capacity limits, and increased waiting periods) reduced violent crime in your area? NO - 94.2% 6.....Would you support a point of sale background check (instant check) for the purchase of a firearm? YES - 92.1% 7.....Does gun ownership by private citizens increase public safety? YES - 87.1% 8.....Do you believe the criminal justice system needs streamlining and reform? YES - 99.2% 9.....Do you believe in the death penalty? YES - 99.2% 10...Do you believe that restrictive gun laws will reduce violent crime? NO - 92.1% 11...Do you believe that gun buy-back or turn-in programs take guns out of the hands of criminals? NO - 98.5% 12...Do you believe that misuse of a firearm in a crime should result in stiff, mandatory sentences with no plea bargaining? YES - 95.6% These results are consistent with similar polls taken all across the U.S. for over 20 years. At least they got asked. Here in Australia there wasn't even any debate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PORT ARTHUR USED AS AN EXCUSE TO DISARM The events that took place after Port Arthur have convinced the majority of Australians that the present government either does not have our interests at heart, are not very bright, are totally out of touch with the general public and probably all three.
