POLL: Sheriff Supports an Assault Weapons Ban; Where Do You Stand?

Dakota County Sheriff Dave Bellows says he supports a ban on high-capacity assault weapons. What do you think?

  Last week, Patch published an article about Dakota County Sheriff Dave Bellows' support of a ban on the sale of high-capacity assault weapons. The article prompted a heated online discussion, with several commenters vigorously opposed to the sheriff's statements. One commenter, identified as Patrick Lynch, called for the election of a new sheriff; another, Jim Christian, said Bellows' response was "reasoned" and "multi-faceted." In light of the controversy and the Newtown shooting, Patch wants to know whether you support or oppose Bellows' position on assault weapons. Answer our poll below, then take the time to tell us how you feel in our comment section.
