Taking into consideration that handgun hunting is allowed in some (if not all) US states I would suggest we gather some statistics from the fish & wildlife authorities in those areas and allow that data to be imparted into this discussion. I will go out on a limb and guess that such data would support the pro handgun hunting side of this particular debate.


Another part of this poll that is skewed is the number of choices: there should be 3. Yes, no or undecided. The other subsections of the "yes" choice serve only to dilute the statistics while the "no" vote remains unaffected. This is a common tactic used by pollsters. I believe the OP was just doing it for humor purposes, but it does serve as a good example of the technique.

26 no's
9 undecided
142 of various yes's when properly compiled
This out of 177 thus far

142 out of 177 is a significant majority.
