Support for gun control?
Insights West poll finds support for proposed gun control laws

"A new study from Insights West indicates new gun control laws proposed by the federal government are backed by the majority of British Columbians. But less than half of those polled believe the new laws will do anything to curb gun violence.

The study found support levels across British Columbia and Alberta are very similar. A total of 65 per cent support the new gun legislation in B.C., about the same number as are supportive in Alberta, 63 per cent.

“Despite the controversy around this legislation, the vast majority of Canadians in Alberta and B.C. are in favour of the proposed changes to gun laws in our country” says Steve Mossop, President of Insights West.

As Mark Twain said, there are lies, there are dam lies, and there are statistics. And the only thing worse then statistics is polls. Manipulate the question to attain the facts you want. Finely honed sophistry.

But, at the end of the day, I don't give a damn how many people actually support 'gun control', which is really people control.

Facts are friends. Anyone who runs stats be it production, upset
Conditions or even gun control can and will make the data speak whatever you wish to say.
I do it every day

Polls are an effective propaganda tool. Works well to promote groupthink.

AO should hire some outfit to run a biased poll of our own.
It could look like this when completed:


Q: Do you think you're too stupid to own property?

A) Yes
B) No
C) Not sure

Results-
98% Responded B)
1% Responded A)
1% Responded C)

These results indicate that 98% of the 23,456 Canadians polled support the right to own all types of firearms.
