Mister Poll: The Supreme Court of the United States and gun control

For the first time in around seventy years, the Supreme Court of the United States will make an historic ruling determing how they'll interpret the second amendment.

Do you think the Supreme Court will uphold or strike down Washington D.C.'s almost complete ban on the possession of handguns?

They'll strike it down.

They'll uphold it and declare it to be constitutional.

Not sure.

Don't care.

How do you think the Supreme Court SHOULD rule on the issue?

Strike it down.

Uphold it.

Do you agree or disagree with Justice Scalia's recent assertion that the second amendment right to arm a "well regulated militia" is also intended to apply to an INDIVIDUAL right to own a gun?

Agree.

Disagree.

Not sure.

Don't care.

Do you think that the case will be decided in a 5-4 decision or 6-3 decision?

5-4, with Justice Kennedy casting the deciding vote.

6-3, with one of the four liberals on the court crossing over to the conservatives' side.

Neither.

Not sure.

Do you think the Supreme Court's ruling on this issue will render gun control a critical issue in the 2008 presidencial election?

Yes

Yes, for some other reason.
