Jimmy has all kinds of polls and surveys and he gets to decide which ones are valid and the rest are all just "push polls" if they don't agree with his religious belief that there are fewer gun owners.

But yes, he does seem to avoid the facts of MA and IL in terms of actual governmental measurement of new gun owners. But he has 15 handy excuses in a thousand words or more as to why they are wrong too.

Meh? Some people can't accept the religious concept of transubstantiation and others can't accept the idea of new gun ownership growing.

The one thing he and his ilk never seem to have though are all those voters that they claim agree with them.

They may just be "directionally challenged" and can't find the polling places on election day.
