...are military and police, who legally possess firearms in the course of duty, exempt from this poll?

Are the firearms they use on the job privately owned? ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #2
The poll question is a bit vague in any event. NYC_SKP Apr 2013 #3
I mentioned "privately owned" in the text, but I will add your imput. nt ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #5
Is the edit more clear? nt ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #6
Oh yes much better, thanks. NYC_SKP Apr 2013 #9
Thanks for the imput. Making fair political polls can be challanging. ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #15
depends on the PD gejohnston Apr 2013 #4
Ah. I edited the poll OP text to clearly exempt on duty police, etc. nt ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #7
I asked graham4anything in GD, and now I'll ask you the same question. slackmaster Apr 2013 #10
I don't support gun confiscation, but I felt that police officers, etc., should be exempt ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #13

Interesting. I just assumed they were all State issued. nt ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #14
No. Only flaming kooks support confiscation of legally owned firearms, or of anything else. slackmaster Apr 2013 #8
Problem is, armueller2001 Apr 2013 #12
There's a word that accurately describes that situation. slackmaster Apr 2013 #17

I didn't think of that. ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #18
No, but that is what they did in Australia. krispos42 Apr 2013 #23

Where are all the DUers who were wanting all guns banned and collected? n-t Logical Apr 2013 #20
Strange...... I think I only saw one such comment. nt rdharma Apr 2013 #21
They're cowering in their "safe haven," unwilling or unable to make convincing arguments in favor... slackmaster Apr 2013 #22
There are only a handful when it comes to handguns. A lot more when it comes to assault weapons. n hack89 Apr 2013 #29
Which is odd because handguns kill many more people. n-t Logical Apr 2013 #33
Logic and gun control don't always go together. nt hack89 Apr 2013 #35

Including assault weapons? The present number in circulation is OK? hack89 Apr 2013 #30
I don't have guns to take, so I know no group of DUers will take my guns, ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #31
I don't support the confiscation of anything tularetom Apr 2013 #27
Not all but certainly the vast majority. bowens43 Apr 2013 #28
don't think of it as confiscation-think of it as mandatory voluntary surrender bubbayugga Apr 2013 #36
Of course criminals will not voluntarily surrender their firearms. ... spin Apr 2013 #37
