MI Poll: How do you feel about your Realtor carrying a gun?


MI Realtor with CCW permit

Michigan Poll:  Would you be more comfortable shopping for a home if you knew your Realtor was carrying a gun?

Note the tortured structure of this poll.  Not "Would it bother you if your Realtor carried a gun?  Not  "Do you think Realtors should be able to carry guns?"

I think the clearest question would be "Would you prefer that your Realtor  be unarmed?"

But the question is what it is.   The results so far are as follows:

Would you be more comfortable shopping for a home if you knew your Realtor was carrying a gun?

yes     61.53%  (411 votes)

No     38.4%    (257 votes)

On line  polls  measure the ratio of those who are interested enough to answer an online poll. The results are a little low.  Second Amendment supporters typically outnumber those who push for more restrictions by 3-10 to 1. In this case it is not yet 2-1 ratio. This poll is asking an essentially emotional question designed to delegitimize self defense. Those who want more restrictions on guns must delegitimize self defense, or they lose.  Even with the emotional trigger in place, the poll is almost 2-1 ratio in favor of second amendment supporters.
