North Carolinians "support" AWB

Though I am usually a lurker (and an avid one at that) I felt compelled to bring this to everyone's attention. I hope this is not a dupe topic.

Some misguided and misinformed individuals at the North Carolina Consumer's Council did a poll that supposedly shows that the majority of North Carolinians support renewal of the AWB.

I find it upsetting and despicable that an organization who has such obvious political leanings poses as an unaffilliated organization that supposedly is concerned for the welfare of North Carolina consumers.

I would urge my fellow North Carolinians that frequent this board to sent this Jason Idilbi character your thoughts.

Anti gunners hard at work

I'm sure more than one of you have voted on one of the unofficial polls on the net mining opinion on the AWB...... and if it should or should not be revewed.

All I have voted on were nuked.

Now comes this. It indicates the antis, finding no national numbers to support their hollow claims, have started "producing" their own numbers in the smoke filled rooms from which their policies come.

My nephew send me this link:

I would also like to mention he posted an excellent rebuttal.
I'm posting this on THR too.

A recent Mason-Dixon Polling and Research survey of North Carolina voters found that North Carolinians favor renewal of the Assault Weapons Ban by a ratio of almost 3 to 1. Sixty-five percent of all respondents favor renewing the ban, while only twenty-three percent oppose. Seventy-five percent of non-gun owners, along with a majority (fifty-two percent) of gun owners, favor renewing the ban.

Furthermore, a majority of all respondents (fifty-three percent) favor strengthening the ban. This includes sixty-nine percent of non-gun owners and one-third (thirty-four percent) of gun owners. Strengthening the ban would include such measures as prohibiting juvenile possession, closing the manufacturer loophole, regulating the sale of pre-ban weapons, and banning conversion kits.

North Carolina data is consistent with national figures of support for renewing and strengthening the Assault Weapons Ban as revealed in the March 2004 national survey commissioned by the Consumer Federation of America (visit www.consumerfed.org) and conducted by Operation Research Corporation International.

"North Carolinians have voiced their preferences on this issue," stated Brad Lamb, Executive Director of the North Carolina Consumers Council. "It is time for the elected leadership, especially President Bush, to take seriously the public's demand for a stronger ban and to take immediate action to push through the necessary legislation before the ban expires. Military-style assault weapons are a menace to our law enforcement officers and our communities."

Mr. Lamb joined Raleigh Police Chief Jane Perlov, Million Mom March volunteers, North Carolinians against Gun Violence, and Durham Congregations in Action Thursday May 20th in speaking to the public about the impending expiration of the Assault Weapons Ban.

"This data is incredibly valuable," stated Jason Idilbi, NCCC Firearms Project Coordinator. "There is no better way to show North Carolina representatives in the Senate and Congress that their constituents value the Assault Weapons Ban as an important public policy tool than by informing them of these findings. We would encourage other organizations across the country to commission similar surveys and use the findings to lobby their representatives for extension of the Assault Weapons Ban."

Standard commie'rat tactic: the precooked "poll" (which their accomplices in the leftist media will regurgitate as Gospel truth.)

I dunno - it took 8 minutes to catch Rich's handoff. Never will work in football - 'less you have two hundred linemen and a long clock. :D :D

Poll? All kinds of %'s but how many responded? 10? 100? And I'll bet they rounded up the decimals to higher number.

I'll tell you, folks, these people have much improved on Himmler's techniques. But then, it's easier with communications so widespread and fast. Have a world record sneeze and the news will go around the world before the echo dies.

Who cares?

Whatever they make up must be true. Just look at the numbers. When MMM held their Mothers Day rally, they had a few thousand show up and SAS had a few hundred show up. When Mr. & Mrs. American, who get their information in headlines, sound bites, and pictures, see this, there is no doubt in their minds about the claims of the gun grabbers being correct. There is no doubt that we are a tiny, very vocal minority.

A couple weeks ago, I made a proposal to get almost a quarter million of us to DC on Mothers' Day next year. No one bothered to respond. Responses might have been positive ("Hey, yeah! Great idea! Count me in!") or negative ("That's the dumbest idea I've heard yet! It'll never happen!"). What I got was indifference (no responses at all). We can sit at our computers or in our club meetings and bitch all we want about how our enemies have stopped twisting the facts and begun to manufacture their own "facts", but if we don't do something to change the perceptions of the sheeple, we will eventually lose.

One of the characteristics of the sheeple is that it is really easy to lead them. Just say, "every criminal, mental defective and child will be allowed to carry a hidden handgun" and they all get in line. Just say, "blood in the streets" and they all get in line. Just say, "belongs on the battlefield not in the streets" and they all get in line. Just say, "it's for the children" and they positively wet their pants to get in line. Meanwhile, we sit here and cry (to each other) "foul!".

Letters (e-mails, phone calls etc) to the politicians are necessary and useful, but when they see that line gathering behind every gun control law that comes down the pike, they've got to start thinking about where their bread is buttered. Even a lame duck politician looks toward the next election; his party wants to win. No wonder RINOs exist. In fact, given the realities of today, it would be amazing if they didn't.

I'm 58, so I may no live to see DiFi get her 51 votes. Many of you are in the same boat. But many (perhaps most) of you aren't. And those of us who are, probably have children or grand children who are out there who are in danger of losing their 2A rights. Or, worse yet, in danger of becoming part of the line.

So do something, (if you can't get to DC, the MMM's Pink RV is coming to you)! Anything! Just make it public and "messy"!
