What's coming is an apology - you are right that neither you nor Italian said the data were accurate. Italian simply said that NORC is a "credible organization" and you concurred with him that the numbers were probably lower than they actually are. Neither of you said that the numbers were accurate.
"Thus, I would not feel confident that the numbers of liberal gun owners vs. conservative gun owners was accurate or significant." OK, so you aren't confident that the numbers of liberal gun owners vs conservative ones are significant. That's your opinion. You might be right. Personally I think there are a "significant" number of liberal gun owners and I don't see what the problem is.
Italian, you have indeed posted many reasons why you believe Obama is a threat to your ownership of guns. You have articulated them clearly and I understand what you (and millions of others) believe when it comes to guns. I hold a different view - my beliefs are different and I have articulated them also.
And I get to operate any way I wish - you do not determine that. Just as you can express beliefs I disagree with, I can do the same. And for the reasons I posted, I do not think Obama will interfere with our guns. He's too clever a politician to do that.
Both you and Keith think the reported gun owner numbers are too low - (I hope I'm not misquoting you again ;)) so that means that even more people are gun owners and that makes it even more difficult politically to interfere. It might even mean that more liberals than you imagine own guns!
