1994 AWB *Was* Effective

[MaverickNH]

Effective at driving gunowners to mistrust any pollster asking about guns.

After the 1994 AWB was enacted, about 1/3rd of gunowners stopped responding honestly to polls asking if they kept guns in their home. Does anyone really think 1/3rd of homes (51% in 1993 to 34% in 1999) got rid of their guns in 6 years?

I think at this point, better than half the country has realized the mainstream pollsters are propaganda tools of the puppetmasters.

Yup, pretty much any poll has become worthless, which is great, since polls are mostly a tool for distorting the truth.

 

[Oldarmy]

Polls like pols are full of shit, act accordingly.

Yeah, I think the 2016 election showed us this. I will never forget that night.

The pollsters get paid by some one to twist the responses. Jack.

I always laugh my ass off when polls say things like "...among gun owners, the numbers were..." or "...among NRA members..."

Any poll that includes self-identified sub-groups is complete bullshit.

Yep - in one poll several-fold more surveyed self-identified as NRA members than NRA claimed, with many happy to have Universal Background Check laws enacted. Yeah, sure...

A new study has shown that guns without bayonet lugs have been used in fewer mass shootings. Jack.

Ask Hillary what she thinks of polls...

 

[Koolmoose]

Why, would any gun owner in his / her right mind, admit to a stranger on the phone, ANY info about gunz? Totally absurd.

Any poll about gunz, imho, is completely inaccurate.

This could still be factual if 17% of gun owners moved their firearms from the house... to the shed.
