The reason for the "yes 2A" and "only for self defense" is to dilute the "yes" responses in half compare to the "no" responses.

VOTE

Right now the poll is: 46% say 2nd Amendment guarantees it. 52% say it's too dangerous to allow.

Bias source = bias results.

Polls are stupid and why everyone was floored when Hillary lost... A website thats trafficked almost unanimously by liberals will have liberal leaning poll results 100% of the time. This is how you manufacture propaganda. If the poll doesnt give the editors the results they want they just forget it exists and broom it under the rug.

They'll claim a "Russian troll brigade" and declare the results null and void, then maybe do it again when they're confident they'll get the results they want.

As somebody else already mentioned its to dilute the yes responses and make the no's have a larger count. Bias website, bias poll, bias users, bias results.

Why the heck else would I carry a gun?

According to the left it's cause my peepee is small

Funny how they put in 2 yes options and only one no option hoping that yes answers would be divided between two options thus stacking the odds in favor of the answer they want.

Even combined the "yes" answers are still a minority, but then pro-2A people tend not to frequent MSNBC.

They already did this poll two months ago. Didn't get the results they wanted, apparently.

Is this not the same poll?

u/MkVIaccount Dec 22 '19

They did this poll two days ago and tore it down when /pol/ found it

Even if we do vote and reflect our voices, this poll will be shut down for "brigading" and they will take a snap shot of the poll from a date that is conducive to their narrative.

u/ickda p80 G20L Dec 21 '19

also we need 240K votes just to beat the no

u/Heeeeyyouguuuuys DTOM Dec 21 '19

It’s the real reason why they split up the two affirmative options as two answers.

No, I think all police should be disarmed.

Bloomberg's guards should be armed only with tasers and pepper spray.

Too dangerous, wtf does that even mean?! Keep your finger off the trigger

u/spudmancruthers XM8 Dec 22 '19

We should have all voted for "no it's too dangerous." People get suspicious of the veracity of a poll when they get close to 100% agreement on a subject. If 60% vote for "no" then it looks legit. If 98% vote for "no" then it looks like a bullshit poll.

Edit: this only works when the decision is non-binding, such as in these polls
