In reply to the discussion: MSNBC gun carry poll. [View all]beevul
(12,194 posts)30. Is doubling down on wrong a compulsion with you?
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.
Failing previously, here you are asking a question I have already answered, in yet another poor attempt to ascribe to me, sentiment I did not author. To people who are fluent in English and who don't try to misrepresent the sentiments of others, this answers the question you asked:
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".
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.
Here, the astute reader will notice that jimmy implicates me, backhandedly, of making an argument. He implies that I argued that "high intensity equates to a majority", which is something I haven't argued, and he knows this full well - if I had made that argument, he'd have quoted it.
Gun owners in a properly conducted poll will not be able to respond at 'a far greater rate pace & magnitude'. Duh.
Spoken as if I said otherwise, and I didn't.
Beevul's above is mostly nonsense. Scientific polls require both proper methodology & randomly selected respondents.
It isn't nonsense, jimmy. What makes polls scientific, is methodology. What determines scientific selection of poll respondents, is methodology.
You're just typing to type, or you feel the need to be perceived as authoritative about something today or something...
You, are delusional. Gun control efforts in general have a slight to strong majority in most reputable polls which I have seen.
Like I said a few posts back, work on your reading comprehension, so that you're able to actually respond to what I said, rather than just the parts you're capable of deciphering on your own. I'm feeling charitable though. I've underlined the parts you seem to be having trouble with:
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.
Like I said, take a month.

Just more proof that we need to repeal the 2A and confiscate every gun in civilian hands.
