Selective Quotes and Claims of Mandates

The site 'Think Progress' went to the NRA convention to ask members about the 'Terror Gap'. After interviewing 'dozens' (out of tens of thousands) they managed to find a few people who weren't informed on the issue, quoted them and the MAIG push poll, and are now claiming
" rank-and-file NRA members disagree with their leadership."

Uh huh, sure.

In contrast, my non-scientific poll on the side is more representative of firearm owners since I have more responses than they do.

Again I put this down to a failure of information dissemination. I encountered the same thing at the 2008 convention where a large percentage of the people had not heard about gun control advocates fabricating a story for CNN. We and the NRA need to get better at this.

Ya know, I don't get these so called progressives. They're so hot to organize witch trials over *suspected* individuals. It's like Due Process is an unknown concept.

And when they're faced with the issue of *suspected* and *due process*, they simply change the *suspected terrorist watchlist* to simply *the terrorist watchlist*.

There's a few articles that are now doing it. The Think Progress article is one of them.

Maybe we should just put all these progressives on the sexual offenders list. Maybe they like children just a tad too much, since they're always thinking about the children, and besides, like Schumer says, they can easily go through the court system to clear themselves.
