This round, let's listen to Luntz: Mr. Luntz queried 832 gun owners, including 401 card-carrying N.R.A. members, in a survey commissioned by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, the alliance of hundreds of executives seeking stronger gun laws. In flat rebuttal of N.R.A. propaganda, the findings showed that 69 percent of N.R.A. members supported closing the notorious gun-show loophole that invites laissez-faire arms dealing outside registration requirements. Even more members, 82 percent, favored banning gun purchases to suspects on terrorist watch lists who are now free to arm. And 69 percent disagreed with Congressionally imposed rules against sharing federal gun-trace information with state and local police agencies. So ... a majority of gun owners want the gun-show loophole closed, favor restrictions on banned gun purchases and think it's a good idea to have gun information shared between agencies. Makes you wonder how reasonable their views would be if they weren't being pumped up by propaganda and warned to lock and load every election by the rich gun lobby. Posted by SusanG at Kos. Gosh..... "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" actually "discovered" a study that proved their point....! OH! they commissioned the study!!!! Well who did they hire? They hired: http://www.theworddoctors.com/expertise.html Do they seek the truth in scientific accumulation and evaluation of data (aren't they Fair and Balanced)? Oh, hell no.... What, then do they do? They twist words and lie by deceptive innuendo.... "Remember, what matters is not what you say. Its what people hear." Fooling people on questionnaires is a very old, very dishonest form of lying....actually making other people lie without realizing it.... I'm not sure what magically misleading terms these folks would use to describe what they *REALLY* do, but I'm sure they'll say something you can agree with, if you pay them enough..... These guys are playing both sides of the conservative fence.... weekly crap for FOX News and then "proving" that the NRA doesn't represent gun owners.... Are you citing the study Frank Luntz did? |
