16. May I make a suggestion?

Don't make it all or nothing. Include clarifying or changing with some ways as to how it would change, rather than an all or nothing.
Should we repeal the 2A? Some may say yes even though they don't want to ban all guns. Some may say no even though they don't support all guns, they just want some guns. The problem with this argument is it may not be all or nothing but it is sold as all or nothing. While technically to change it it may take repeal and replace, that needs to be an option.

As long as the poll is yes or no you really will not get good results but you may get the results you are hoping for no matter how meaningless it may be.

I voted pass. It is simply not yes or no.
