clffrd: Where was it claimed to be anything but an unscientific internal poll?

Thanks for your support, that it's an unscientific internet poll, aka junk science.

clffrd: Right so you understand why we say you lose all credibility when you try and ban angled grips and heat shields. And why we don't trust you to stop with whatever you claim is sensible control this week.

Right so you understand why we think gunnuts as rightwing loonies inept at thinking beyond their personal gun ownership & trumped up rights thereof.

Is 1994 just too far back for you to remember or are you being intentionally obtuse?

Obtuse pot kettle black; reread what she wrote in OP:
1 .. also the legislation under consideration that needs credibility.
2 Of the many aspects of gun control and related laws, pressure for another assault weapons ban undermines the credibility of the pro control side...
3 Does another AWB undermine pro control credibility?


The federal assault rifle ban was defeated 40-60 in the senate last month, the legislation is not really under consideration. The only recent assault weapons bans (under consideration) which passed were in new york & denver colorado & apparently are being appealed by gun lobbynuts, and then 'credibility poll' is asking whether 'another assault weapons ban' is really necessary, duh, why should I default into thinking she's referring to the feds rather than the state appeals?
.. answer that mr specious.

clffrd: ..you might have a point if this poll was going to be used anywhere besides this thread but since it isn't you are really just blabbing on about nothing again.

I'm blabbing on about nothing? when you yourself in the very post agreed with my premise?:

clffrd agreeing with my premise: Where was it claimed to be anything but an unscientific internal poll?

My point was to expose this inaptly named fraudulent poll, so others might not fall for age old nra tactics to rig polls - THAT was in good part, the point.
