Hit this absolutely idiotic ghost gun survey

[LittleLebowski]

You’ll see why it’s idiotic when it gets to the pictures, I won’t spoil it. Thirty seconds. Have fun.

What, no muzzle-loading cannons? They didn't have serial numbers....

[JCN]

Yeah, that survey didn’t seem biased or anything.

I was expecting a question asking if “Orange man bad.”

[OfficeCat]

Thanks for the link. I took the survey.

“Bloomberg School...”

Pretty much all you need to know right there.

[Mark D]

Man, I thought this was about guns used by Ghost Busters. Still, I did the stupid poll.

Any more tardy and I'd have to get a slip from the office.

Ghost gun definition: other - "guns for paramilitary organizations that fight paranormal forces"
Who do you hear using the term: other "Anti-civil rights organizations (e.g. Everytown for Gun Safety, March For Our Lives)
Who do you trust for gun policy info: Gun Owners, other - "Firearms Policy Coalition"

I took it twice and will take it again tomorrow at work.

The "Other" box is a good place to drop wisdom if you're so inclined.

Yes, that was an extra special sauce survey.

I think we have a winner.

They say a ghost gun could look like a K frame. I've said plenty of times that a modern S&W revolver is an almost-ready-to-fire firearm kit, but every one I've seen still came with a serial number. I'd also be interested in the 80 percent B92 or semi-auto shotgun. And sweet retro build someone apparently did on an AR...

Yeah, I might take this at each coffeehouse that I pass through, until the survey closes.

I am happy to say that my answers included, in order:

“Khyber Pass”
“Marxist ideologues”
and
“Vetted, published experts in gun policy.”

I am sad to say that I didn’t think of Nephrology’s response. Clever though I may be, I failed.

I put the NRA but the Constitution is a better answer.

My Wife is about to finish her Master's through JHU's distance learning program. Depressing.

Plagiarized.

The more I think about this, the more it becomes obvious that the purpose of Bloomberg's survey is not to acquire information about peoples' thoughts, but to shape peoples' thoughts and emotional reactions by distributing disinformation. It is nothing but propaganda, pure and simple.

Let's be real. When we're talking about self-made guns that might be used in crimes, we're talking about 80 percent Glock knockoffs and ARs.

I've never heard of an 80 percent or someone building their own Beretta 92 from scratch.

I've never heard of an 80 percent or someone building their own shotgun from scratch (other than using plumbing materials from Home Depot to make a political point).

I've never heard of an 80 percent or someone building their own revolver from scratch.

There are probably a few people who build 80 percent lowers into retro rifles with fixed stock and carry handle just because, but those aren't typical, and those aren't the ones most likely to be used in crimes.

Yet, those are the examples the Bloomberg school puts in its survey to indicate what a "ghost gun" could look like.

The information that the survey pushes out at those who take it maps perfectly onto the disinformation message that all guns are bad and scary and all guns are to be associated with criminality. That's the point of the activity. They aren't doing it to learn what people already think.

In a couple of months, when Congress proposes a new law, be on the lookout for a quote that says "According to study conducted in 2021 by a non-partisan academic institution, 83 percent of the public is concerned about the growing threat of ghost guns and is in favor of common-sense laws to protect their communities."

[Blades]

I took it again while at work and once on my phone. I typed longer answers in the "other" section. I asked them if they would want their 1st Amendment rights hindered.

When I want to learn more about gun policy, I trust the following source(s) for information: (select all that apply)

Other: Myself. I already believe there should be no regulation of private firearms ownership.
