I just love how liberals just pull this crap out of their @ss and print it as fact. They seem comfortable that no one will challenge them for any sort of evidence for the claims.
What is distressing is that this is from a Grand Junction paper? That is some fine Colorado country. I lived in CO for six years growing up. What the hell has happened to that fine state?
a barackobama.com poll I guess
Yep. This guy laments the fact that people making arguments on either side of the issue need to provide citations for their arguments...then he just throws this out there and hopes it is taken as fact.
He also thinks that if it were true, it would mean something. Our laws aren't supposed to be based on "overwhelming support", we have a Constitution.
If there were "overwhelming support" for outlawing the Press, would this guy be on board?
“I lived in CO for six years growing up. What the hell has happened to that fine state?”
California happened to that fine state.

Saying your position has overwhelming support is a logical fallacy called the bandwagon appeal.

It’s actually an effective propaganda technique. Anyone who disagrees with the author is painted as out of touch with the majority. The same technique is being used to increase support for sodomite “marriage.” Polls clearly show most people are in favor of it, so you’re abnormal if you don’t agree. It makes people shift their opinion to the perceived majority’s, which makes it even easier to sell as the majority opinion.
Yep - and then he has this: The vast majority of gun owners are responsible. However, there are too many who are “straw buyers”
Their "overwhelming" support stats are based on incomplete or twisted info when they poll folks. When you have a Vast Majority of folks following the law and being responsible, the "liberal" tactic is to subjugate them as a way of "attacking" the illegals. Net sum is that the law-abiders become enslaved and helpless and the bad guys go on as if nothing happened.
