Political Scientists often study how populations can be manipulated. In this study, they are perplexed that gun owners are not so easily manipulated.

Abbie Vegter, a graduate student in political science.

The best thing Abbie Vegter can do for America is to drop out of school and become an apprentice ditch digger. Ditch diggers build things. "Political Scientists" do nothing good.

“...majority opinions on gun control legislation aren’t turning into policy...”

It’s called the Constitution. Not like us in Washington State, which allows “Voter Referendums” - where the majority can vote in dumb laws like the current one up for a vote.

“Keep assault weapons out of the hands of minors!” (In the 30+ pages it details that a tube-fed .22 is an “assault weapon”, and that if grandpa wants to buy himself a new gun, he will have to have had a state certified gun safety class within the last five years. I haven’t read the entire thing, but something also about “safe” gun storage.

Liberals put the dum in referendums.

Maybe Ms. Vegter should join PETA. Her name ought to carry a lot of weight there.

majority opinions on gun control legislation

I think she means the responses to manipulated poll questions that don't tell the whole story.

Political science is the mother of oxymorons.
At my alma mater, as in all others, the students who cannot hack real courses go into poli sci.
Then into law and politics.

Political– not empirical– science is the basis of the global warming hoax.

Political science is the fig leaf of legitimacy that all Progressive schemes require.

Political science, its adherents, precepts and conclusions should be dismissed out of hand by anyone concerned with their own safety and security.

Leftists are horrible people who want to control you.

First leftists use propaganda to ‘convince’ you to do their bidding.

If that fails, then leftists will call you names and denigrate you into submitting to their demands.

If that fails, leftists will pass a law to threaten you into submission by use of the government’s monopoly on force.

If that fails, leftists will single you out, and threaten bodily harm.

If that fails, leftists will actually harm you...but only bad enough that they will suffer no ill consequences while you now are constantly in fear of the next physical assault.

If that does not work, the government will take action against you by fining you, taking your property or jailing you.

If that does not work, leftists, through the government, will take all of your property, and send you into forced labor.

And finally, if that does not work, leftists will kill you.

2A people actually contest the moral level of the conflict instead of sitting there on the defensive when a loon lefty makes the usual crackpot moral judgement against us.

I would dispute that gun control is a ‘majority opinion.’
Besides, this is a Republic, not a Democracy, and there are quite a few things on which they don’t get to vote.

IOW, they can’t figure why gun owners don’t move their views over time the way all other social/ moral views have migrated.

**** by manipulating public opinion.***

BINGO! Most of us old timers today remember the freedoms we had before 1968, clear back to 1962 when Thomas J Dodd and Emanuel Cellar declared..”We ONLY want to register handguns! Long guns will not be affected!”
Then they wanted to register all guns.
Then ban small foreign made handguns and 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles. We remember the vicious news media attacks on gun ownership and hunting back in the 1960s and 1970s.
Then ban small American made guns.(Rifles will not be affected)
Then ban ALL American made handguns.(Rifles will not be affected)
Then they came for the rifles.

So, we have learned NEVER to trust any media manipulation trying to force people to give up their rights to own firearms.

Fake statistics with regards to gun violence and hidden data with regards to crime prevention does not help their cause.
