This week’s poll: Which gun groups do you support? And something a little different this time; we’re inviting any anti-gunners who might be lurking about to tell what anti-gun groups they volunteer for or send money to. No, there probably aren’t a lot of antis browsing TZP, but all it takes is one to show up and put the word out to her friends. Then we might get some pretty odd results.

As usual, last week’s poll remains open until tomorrow evening.

This week’s poll requires a little background explanation. So read this first please, then go v*te!

Obama released a white paper that effectively reverses the Clinton-era policy that reduced Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) from approximately 250,000 in the ’90s to 50,000 today. The reduction was accomplished by denying licenses for people deemed not to be doing enough business, or doing business from home. Those who had licenses strictly for gun show sales saw them revoked, and the ATF will not issue an FFL for gun show-only sales. Now Obama says those “dealers” must be licensed again.

If FFLs are again opened up for show-sellers, collectors, hobbyists, low-volume sellers, and people who simply want the convenience of interstate transfers without paying another FFL dealer, would you apply for a license?

The poll is here. There are v*ting options even for those who might never imagine themselves being in a position to need or be legally required to hold a license.

Last week’s poll on the biggest threats to gun rights in 2016 is open through tomorrow evening at 6:00 CST — and still going strong.

New TZP poll: As anti-gunners regroup and prepare for new attacks, what will be their most dangerous strategies (or opportunities) for attacking gun rights in 2016? You can choose up to three.

Our previous poll, about holiday gift giving (or receiving) of self-defense tools, is still up through tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. CST. Seems lots of people happily gave and received this year.

For most of us, whether we celebrate Hannukah, Christmas, or Yule*, this is the season of gift giving. Our latest poll asks whether you gave or received firearm/self-defense-related gifts this year.

Two things to know about this poll: It will be up until after the end of the year and it allows you to v*te more than once. So if you haven’t finished all your celebrations yet, you can answer now then come back and answer again later.

Through tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. CST, you can also still v*te in last week’s poll, which has drawn lots of responses and plenty of creative comments (love the one about writing articles for TZP!)

*I can’t imagine that anybody here observes that dutiful celebration of collectivism, Kwanzaa. But if you do, then Heri za Kwanzaa to you.

This week’s poll asks if you’ve ever had to defend yourself or others with a firearm. It will be open until Monday, December 7 at 6:00 p.m. CST.

Last week’s poll (another “political one”) remains open until tomorrow at 6:00. Turns out these political polls have proven unpopular with the hardcore and politically cynical (or realistic) TZP crowd. It’ll be a while before we do another of those.

This week’s poll is now UPDATE: Closed. The question: Which Republican presidential candidate is most dangerous to gun rights?

Before anybody gets mad, some explanation: We’re not prejudiced against R-party candidates. (Well, I am, but slightly less than I am against D-party candidates.) We’re just doing separate polls on each party. Ds and probably some mixed matches still to come. We may even do some political polls with a more positive spin.

Also, the eight names that appear in the new poll are those who qualified for this week’s Fox News “big boy” debate. Candidates who didn’t have enough support to make that debate were omitted.

So go. V*te. Then come back here and leave a comment to tell why you think that candidate is most perilous to gun rights.

(H/T to CB for the poll idea.)

Last week’s poll (on favorite EDC calibers) is still open through Monday at 6:00 p.m. CST. So please v*te in that, too, if you haven’t already.

Here’s where results stand as of early Sunday a.m. (click to embiggenate):
