dscntnt: It's good to see that you're....maintaining your standard of (ir)relevance.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1172&pid=181970

Dunno what you're driving at, by posting a link to a rebuttal of your OP about a police one survey, you giving a bogus phony 'poll' as having any sort of credibitily. But since you bring it up, I'll paste my report here:

(jimmy wrote, nov 23, 2015): Only a gullible sap would say such a thing in light of the skewed results; factcheck debunks your 'police one' study as unscientific, since it was an internet poll as well as by invitation apparently to members only:

The ad includes an image of a police badge with a reference to a March {2013} survey by a group called PoliceOne. com, a news and resource site for law enforcement officers. The survey wasn’t a scientific poll that aimed to gather responses from a random sample of the nation’s police officers.
Rather, it was a self-selected Internet poll, in which more than 15,000 of PoliceOne.com’s 400,000 registered members chose to respond, either because of email solicitation or a link to the survey on the PoliceOne.com website.
And there was no question asking whether “background checks” would have an “effect on violent crime.”

In fact, the survey methodology says that a question on criminal background checks was removed “due to flaws with the question details, highlighted by a handful of users.” We spoke with Jon Hughes, vice president of content for the Praetorian Group, which owns PoliceOne. com, about the NRA ads’ claim. He told us he was “unclear where that came from specifically.” He said that the question that was dropped — because of “an error in how it was phrased” — couldn’t be the source either, as the data didn’t match the claim. Hughes said fact-check articles by the Washington Post and Slate.com on the ad “did a pretty good job of analyzing the data to try to determine where that claim came from.” http://www.factcheck.org/2013/04/nra-misrepresents-police-survey-legislation/

And what's up with the flim flamming, discontent irony sarcasm? since you posted re police one survey on this same may 2013 thread which I did with the same factcheck link; you like to continue to post disinformation every year or so?
