We believe the 2nd Amendment is best defended through grass-roots organization, education, and advocacy centered around individual gun owners. It is our mission to encourage, organize, and support these efforts throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.

Just serves as an example of
When you ask a question , be prepared to hear a answer that you did not want or expect.
When it comes to the 2nd Amendment it should be simple...
If you don't want to own a gun , then don't...at the same do not make that choice for others.

No gun is included in the Second Amendment. It specifies a restriction on government, not an allowance for citizens. The Second Amendment doesn’t “apply” to any guns; it applies to government. The right to bear arms - any arms - is guaranteed by the Second Amendment.

To be fair though - such polls are not scientific - it is just the usual case that more pro-gun people showed up or knew about the poll than anti-gun people, or who cared to vote on it. Maybe it is somewhat representative, maybe not - posting a poll on Twitter is not a good way to truly determine public sentiment.
OTOH - the Second Amendment is about a Natural Right. You can't vote away Natural Rights - only the freedom to exercise them.
