Their poll of 3200 for no, 140 for yes says enough.

 

I love how these places use polls to get feedback, then when they get the exact opposite of what they want, the poll is blamed for being inaccurate  :rofl:

The poll just tells them they have to lie more often, until you finally believe them.

 That sure seems to be the pattern. As usual, no matter what the poll questions, the findings always seem to reflect the views of the heavily slanted writings.

 

And the population segments these polls are taken in and from are far from a representative sampling of the country. Always seems to be the high density urban areas that are questioned and then the findings are said to be that of the country as a whole.

At least half of the country now lives in metro areas and the vast majority of those areas vote Democratic.  That is why Obama won and liberals are increasinly getting more power every day.

 

 

BTW, their silly poll is still 96% saying no they should not worry about "patriot" groups.

That was a great impersonation of Joseph Goebbels, seriously it was awesome, made me feel just like what a Jew living in Germany circa 1934 must have felt.

The language of this article is disturbing. 

 

"They're not jihadists. They are white, right-wing Americans, nearly all with an obsessive attachment to guns, who may represent a greater danger to the lives of American civilians than international terrorists."

 

If we're all lunatics and terrorists they can take our guns while the 2A remains in tact. I know this is just one article but it reflects the attitude of those who want to ban guns. 

[ShamGlock]

That is some seriously inflammatory propaganda right there. Do they have any idea how much of the tax base comes from these hard working old white guys that make up these so called patriot groups? 

[TMF]

If this were true there'd be terrorist attacks constantly by gun owners with the intent of destabilizing the government and furthering the right wing agenda.  All the mass shootings that have taken place are by psychos who want nothing more than a body count.  The last couple of right wingers responsible for terrorism used bombs made from fertilizer and household chemicals.  Of course, this is all a self-fulfilling prophecy.  If they continue to marginalize every gun owning conservative in the country to the point of disarming them and taxing away their wealth, they most certainly will have a domestic terrorism problem.... a significantly large one.

"These groups should be closely monitored, with resources adequate to the task, even if it means shifting some homeland security money from the hunt for foreign terrorists."

So they are now worried about white guys who own guns then actual terrorist who say they want to kill us!

Makes me think of 2 Thessalonians 2 11-12:

"11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness."

[Guest zort]

gun owners are much more than just old white men. these anti gun idiots need to go to some of these carry classes. they would be very surprised at the wide range of people that not only own guns but also carry.
