Credibility Poll

20. Look out folks here comes captain obvious

"Haha, can't stop laughing - your 'poll' is junk science.
A proper poll results from random selection of a normal distribution of people, which disqualifies your 'credibility poll' right there, since it's done in a forum about RKBA/guncontrol which attracts the progun element like bees to honey (or rats to cheese). "

Where was it claimed to be anything but an unscientific internal poll? Or are you just upset with how little support your side could muster?

"That's the gunnut spin on it, yes. But proliferation of assault rifles, such as ar15, bullets from which can penetrate bullet vests & steel helmets & walls & doors & can be effectively lesser automatic fire ~90 rds per minute, with little recoil so as to make them more accurate, are not needed in civilian communities. You are introducing more & more battlefield guns into places which are not battlefields."

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.

"Handguns kill of course far more frequently, they are cheaper to buy, but have less long range capability & accuracy & are normally limited to a few deaths per incident. Handguns cannot be banned or even suppressed, while assault weapons can be nipped in the bud."

Did you even read the op? You prove his point with every sentence.

"Even your poll question is subjectively dumb. There is no federal awb, so we presume you speak of another 'state' awb."

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

"What did you REALLY prove with your poll? What we already knew to begin with, which posters were pro gun, & which were not, wheeeee, have a pyrrhic victory party & get giddy with elation;
Your 80% pro gun result also proves NOTHING except your poll is junk science, since it is opposite to what properly run reputable polls have shown about support for awb & current guncontrol efforts.
An internet poll is unscientific & only rarely backs into accuracy, serendipitously, and this one sure didn't."

Addressed above, 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.
