“When asked directly whether ‘gun control laws should be stricter, making it harder for people to purchase firearms’ as a result of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, 76.5 percent backed this idea and only 16 percent endorsed less strict gun controls,” said Smith. The findings are in “Public Attitudes Toward the Regulation of Firearms,” a study funded by Chicago’s Joyce Foundation as part of the 2006 GSS survey.The Joyce Foundation said it, I believe it, that settles it.
Ri-ight.
This truly needs a John Lott type to give it the debunking it deserves, but I will say it's evident the survey group didn't have a clue as to what they profess beliefs in, which always allows for the results one wishes to produce. It's also clear what they thought they knew was merely regurguitated sound bites from mainstream propaganda conditioning.
I know it's wrong to judge books by their covers, but I can't help but look at Tom W. Smith and wonder what the hell good he'd be if someone decided to commit savage violence in front of him.
What I see is another advocate of disarming you and me who doesn't have the guts to try it himself, another "anti-gun male."
Another "Judas goat."
