dscntnt: I didn't purport that it was a scientific poll. It's obviously skewed because the self-selected aspect of the included respondents would exclude the opinions of those readers not inclined to answer internet polls.

As a pro gun advocate you were obviously touting the pro gun results of the police one survey. Now you backpedal & claim its skewed.
Which angle 'didn't surprise' you? that the question results were so pro gun? or that they were skewed? use that escape hatch NOW.
Ooops, too late for the escape hatch, you're caught trying to wiggle out:

dscntnt: You assert that I posted "disinformation" but offer no proof of that. Proof would be a "scientific" survey of police officers which shows a preponderance of respondents actually hold opinions counter to the those I posted.

So there you have it readers, dscntnt is standing behind the unscientific results of a 'members only' poll which was not randomly conducted.

dscntnt: This term {flim flamming} means to swindle as in 'use deception to deprive (someone) of money or possessions.'

Not the way I intended it: 1. deceive somebody; - Example: "We tricked the teacher into thinking that class would be cancelled next week" syn: flim-flam, http://www.freedictionary.org/?Query=flim-flam

dscntnt: I made no reference to nor representation of a position on BGCs.

So? That mention of background checks was within the text I posted, & the catalyst for the factcheck, was to keep my quotes in context, & obviously not the crux of my argument, excepting that the one question was deemed ambiguous by police one.
That you harp on this excessively in your rebuttal is simply you playing dodge ball with red herring balls.
