Don't Ask, Don't Tell

Pollsters are failing to ask key questions in the gun control debate.  While fringe elements in the gun debate are often defiled, they are not quantified.

We all know that assault weapons and 100 round clips are overkill for hunters, or for home security.  We do not know how many people believe that military grade weapons and large clips may be necessary to protect citizens' freedom from overreach by the federal government.  Nor do we know how many Americans believe that expanded background checks of gun purchasers will be used to reduce the rights of law abiding citizens.

We should ask.
