Does voting in a USA Today poll make a difference for Second Amendment rights as a circulated email claims?

USA Today Poll on Gun ownership
Obama's new Attorney General, Eric Holder, has already said this is one of his major issues. He does not believe the 2ndAmendment gives individuals the right to bear arms. This takes literally 2 clicks to complete. Please vote on this gun issue question with USA Today. It will only take a few seconds of your time. Then pass the link on to all the pro gun folks you know. Hopefully these results will be published later this month. This upcoming year will become critical for gun owners with the Supreme Court's accepting the District of Columbia case against the right for individuals to bear arms.
Here's what you need to do:First - vote on this one.
Second - launch it to other folks and have them vote - then we will see if the results get published.
The Question is:"Does the Second Amendment give individuals the right to bear arms?"

While Second Amendment rights are certainly very important, voting in internet polls is a bit like wetting your pants while wearing a dark suit--you get a warm feeling, but no one else will likely notice.
Internet polls such as this one are strictly for entertainment; no politician, judge, or dog catcher votes or makes policy based on the results. In the case of this USA Today 2A poll, it makes even less difference--because it is from
November 2007.
Save your vote for something that really counts--such as the upcoming elections.
