There is some funny business on that poll, they logging well over 150 votes/minute. But a steady decline in pro concealed carry %.

I have been involved in this anti-gun, pro gun battle for over 40 years. At no time nor place has such poles been favororable toward gun owners after a tragedy where a firearm was used. Especially in a state such as Illinois where such things aren't supposed to happen considering their myriad of gun laws. What an embarassment. This pole no doubt was confined to northern Illinois where the infestation of anti-gun zealots runs rampant and chances run deep that such poles would not be kind to gun owners at any time much less in the aftermath of a tragedy.
Anti gun organizations use poles such as this taken after a tragedy to push their agenda.

Well, I'm certainly not in northern Illinois and I voted.
