Exclamation Poll on CTV News

Poll on ctvnews.ca asking the question "Do you support a handgun ban" ?

Currently 58% saying they DO NOT support a handgun ban.

Lets get everyone voting to get the NO vote higher.

It disappeared for me as well. I made sure to type in their website manually to avoid tracing the hotlink and tried; it went blank. Then I refreshed and tried again: it went blank. Then I refreshed and clicked on the poll results and it went blank. Weird.

At least it was a yes or no selection for the answers, not one 'yes' and 4 different choices for no to water down the stats.

I'm sure you don't want bad people to have them (nobody does) but I'm curious why you don't want good people to have them?

Just because you don't have a valid use for handguns doesn't mean that nobody else does. The anti firearms people thank you for your support, with people like you supporting them, they will ban handguns, then semi autos, then the rest of our hunting/sporting firearms. As for harm, any firearm can be used to do harm, handguns just don't have the range or capacity of many rifles, if the intent is to do harm.

On the slight chance the Libs get another Majority and they announce in 2020 or 2021 that only purpose built single shot bolt actions ,no repeater actions, or break open single shot rifles and shot guns are the only legal option for use,get back to us.
Do you belong to a local shooting club or range?How do you think they'll survive with 30%-50% less members?
I voted NO,although it doesn't seem to matter to the Libs what the majority of Canadian opinion levels are concerning this Ban.
