Looks like, as of 10:25 EDT on 8/18, 91.67% of people don't want to be defenseless against a rioting mob.

Or know that your polls are just a troll to promote your view points

How is that so? I did put all possible answers up there, didn't I? The two variables are a) do you favor gun ownership? and b) did the UK riots change your mind?

Taking "a" and "b" together means there are four possible states, and they are all represented in the poll question.

I did note the date and time above, because there may be many people yet to answer and the distribution among those answers may change.

Yeah but everyone knows that plain English is open to "interpretation". Where would we be without all these people to explain what these very difficult words mean.

No shot, the country was far too puritan at the time.
