It's an exceedingly rare event when I encourage people to help Washington Ceasefire rather than Washington Ceasefear.  But this is one of those rare times.  Ceasefire is conducting a poll.  The question of the poll is: "How serious do you think handgun violence is in Washington?"  Currently the results of the poll (on the main page, this may not last long) are:

Answer	Votes	Percentage
Not at all serious:	14	60.%
Very serious:	6	26.1%
Somewhat serious:	2	8.7%
Not very serious:	1	4.3%
A little serious:	0	0.0%

There are so few votes it's not a good statistical sample.  Why don't we help them out?  And just to be fair--only vote once.

Update (04:20, December 12, 2005): Analog Kid posted about the poll and his readers helped out too.  Thanks to everyone that participated. Here are the latest results:

Answer	Votes	Percentage
Not at all serious:	425	77.6%
Not very serious:	83	15.1%
Very serious:	27	4.9%
A little serious:	11	8.7%
Somewhat serious:	2	0.4%
