beevul: When I said "the result isn't 'bogus', its a reflection of the sad reality of the side of the issue that you are on", I wasn't referring to the poll result. I was referring to the result of one group having more intensity than another. The astute reader will notice and take into context, the words at the very beginning of my sentence: "In general". To the honest (and the literate), the words "in general" denote quite a different meaning than "when it comes to internet polls":
What are you talking about if not polls? you talking about elections? referendums? this argument started due your posting an unscientific internet poll & then touting it.
Your above argument is invalid overall. If there is one group having a higher intensity than another group, it does not necessarily mean the high intensity equates to a majority. 'High intensity' could win in an election if low or disinterested turnout, but might not win in a scientific reputable poll which is randomly selected & scientifically representative.
beevul: Methodology is what makes polls scientific or not, not the respondents. That gun owners respond at a far greater rate pace and magnitude than gun control zealots is a fact, and in general, there is nothing unscientific about that.
Beevul's above is mostly nonsense. Scientific polls require both proper methodology & randomly selected respondents.
Gun owners in a properly conducted poll will not be able to respond at 'a far greater rate pace & magnitude'. Duh.
beevul: You sir, are in a minority, like all "strict gun control" pushers and the banners that stand behind them, are. Pissing and moaning about an internet poll isn't going to change that, I'm afraid.
You, are delusional. Gun control efforts in general have a slight to strong majority in most reputable polls which I have seen.
