Side one, once again this is no simple majority you are claiming, this is 86% support vs at most 14% I can't think of any other thing that has overcome such a large opposition in such short time. I don't care how much bribe money you have that is one hell of a mountain to climb. But yet it was done, how?

Side two, if the NRA and other pro gunners have the power to overcome that kind of mountain why do we have so many anti-gun laws, why haven't their goals been met?

Your poll is wrong, you have nothing to support it with, it is time to admit that.

Really? Pro gun groups use real numbers while anti-gun groups don't? EOTE Nov 2013 #15

Take a close look at that poll. clffrdjk Nov 2013 #40

Are you suggesting that democracy rules in this country? EOTE Nov 2013 #41

No, but there is not a politician alive that wouldn't vote with 86% of the population clffrdjk Nov 2013 #42

So, you CAN'T find a poll that backs up your assertion? EOTE Nov 2013 #44

Did you not read my post at all? clffrdjk Nov 2013 #45

Christ, you need to make up your mind. EOTE Nov 2013 #47

Ahhh it's bullshit because you say it is. EOTE Nov 2013 #54

Holy hell clffrdjk Nov 2013 #56

So that's your argument, it has to be inaccurate because a vocal minority never gets what it wants? EOTE Nov 2013 #57

It's the easy argument to make clffrdjk Nov 2013 #59

Ah, so you WOULD provide me evidence, but you're too lazy. EOTE Nov 2013 #60

Lol you're not worth the effort clffrdjk Nov 2013 #61

Thanks for proving just how much gun nutters hate reality. EOTE Nov 2013 #63

Don't move the goal posts you have to prove the poll is accurate. clffrdjk Nov 2013 #69

So again, there is nothing that would convince the nutter's feeble mind. EOTE Nov 2013 #70

What again? you haven't posted one thing to support your assertion. clffrdjk Nov 2013 #73

I've posted many things to support my assertion. You reply with "Nuh uh!" EOTE Nov 2013 #75

lol prove it clffrdjk Nov 2013 #79
