I have been able to vote twice too from same laptop and same isp.
I think if you leave a couple of days between each vote, you can crack on

I've passed the link to a fishing site and I'm sure there will be a few votes from there too.

Don't know why, but I seem to have voted at least a dozen times..... early onset dementia I reckon

what makes me laugh is there is already more votes for lifting the ban that the bass/nra backed petition during the olympics

The poll was posted on a popular "black rifle" site outside of the jurisdiction of Westminster, which may explain the voting levels...
I've voted a couple of times too - however I just can't see any MP backing this; it would be political suicide. The tabloids like the scum and daily fail would be all over them with talk of "child killers" and "sandy hook death-rays". The average UK citizen is so far removed from the idea of being able to protect themselves with anything other then their hands, that you may as well be talking Chinese.

Especially if the said "vote" could be construed as "just a couple of blokes who voted XXX times each...."
It now seems that the article/poll has no credibility at all.

In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?
