80 percent of Texans want ban on assault weapons renewed
Majority also back law allowing concealed guns with permit, poll says
11:36 PM CDT on Thursday, September 9, 2004
By ROBERT T. GARRETT / The Dallas Morning News
AUSTIN – Four out of five Texans think Congress should renew the ban on assault weapons that expires Monday, according to a new Texas Poll. The law bars sale of 19 kinds of semiautomatic weapons that have features of guns used by the military and it outlaws ammunition clips of more than 10 rounds.
The Texas Poll found that 53 percent of adults surveyed own a gun or live in a household in which someone else does. Sixty-one percent favor the law allowing Texans to carry concealed handguns with a permit.
Six times since 1988, the Texas Poll has asked whether restrictions on gun sales should be increased, decreased or kept the same. In the latest survey, 44 percent favored keeping restrictions unchanged, the first time that sentiment exceeded support for increasing restrictions (42 percent this survey).
Gun control adversaries Jim Dark, executive director of the Texas State Rifle Association, and Dave Smith of Houston, president of Texans for Gun Safety, agreed that satisfaction with current restrictions is rising. Both said there is a broad acceptance of instant background checks of gun buyers.

I'm cool with CCW permits, but I think we need to crack down on felons who acquire guns illegally. |

| Those are the most fudged statistics I have ever seen. Texas, in general, would be one of the states strongly against the renewing of the ban. I might be able to believe Austin because of their liberal viewpoints, but other than that, Texas on a whole is not in support |

Yeah I never trust polls anymore.
I think they are used to manipulate the public by and large. |

I thought the fight scene in the Last Samurai where the Ninjas came after Katsumoto was killer. :whip:
And I have to agree with Digitalbreach, the sword play in Kill Bill sucked balls. :eek:
If you want to see some realistic sword fighting, watch the Seventh Samurai. |

Yeah I meant Seven Samurai.
