I have no confidence in polls, no matter what the subject is, and reading Emily Miller in the Washington Times<\/a> today illustrates why;<\/p>\n

The problem with all the polling on Second Amendment issues is that the surveys don\u2019t give enough detail on terminology, so respondents are using their knowledge from the massive public relations battle waged by Mr. Obama and paid for by New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg.<\/p>\n

For example, a recent ABC News\/Washington Post Poll asked: \u201cWould you support or oppose a law requiring a nationwide ban on the sale of assault weapons?\u201d Fifty-seven percent said that they did.<\/p>\n

However, I wonder how many people can define what is an \u201cassault weapon\u201d? I\u2019d guess that most people would think it was a fully-automatic, military firearm, which is the actual definition of the term.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, the media doesn’t know what they’re talking about in regards to guns, so the people they’re supposed to be educating about the issues are confused, too. But Miller’s article illustrates how the public is losing interest in the issue – mostly because of those same reasons. they don’t know where to go to get accurate information anymore.<\/p>\n

We saw the dingus from that liberal POS blog a few weeks back who said that he intentionally misspoke and used the wrong terms so that his audience would understand. How is that helpful? Back to Ms. Miller;<\/p>\n

[A]ccording to Mrs. Feinstein herself, there are an average 35 people in the U.S. killed each year by rifles with these characteristics. Criminals use handguns because they are easy to conceal on the streets. I\u2019ve not been able to find any law enforcement officers killed by rifles with those characteristics. So, a better poll would follow up by asking: How many people are killed each year by so-called assault weapons? I\u2019d bet most respondents would guess thousands.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When there are spastic retards like Bloomberg who uses his billions to influence public opinion, that’s the kind of misinformation you’ll get made part of the “national discussion”. But you should read all Miller’s article.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Bloomberg, in another Washington Times<\/a> article, they report that Bloomberg is taking that inbred redneck commercial we ran last week in Arkansas. Now ask yourself, why would the New York City Mayor care about politics in Arkansas? And why doesn’t he go down there himself and campaign against pro-gun Sen. Mark Pryor, the target of his ads there? Probably because Arkansans would run his goat-smellin’ Yankee ass out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
