bob: Now, back to what I posted
"Rating .... Gun control opponents ....Gun control supporters .. april 2013
True ..................17%................... 20%"


Well cutting you some slack, but you left off some of the evidence against the gunnuts:

.................. gunnuts ............ gun control
True ..................17%................... 20%
Mostly True ........16...................... 38


When both 'true' results & 'mostly true' results are factored in, is where you get gun control arguments being more right 58% of the time compared to only 33% of the time for gunnutted crowd, close to twice as factual or true for gun control.

bob: That means 83 and 80 percent, respectively, were at least partly bullcrap.

Boo, you're lopping off too much critical info, when you equate 'mostly true' with 'mostly false', as defining 'partly bullcrap'.
Akin to equating someone saying 'mostly true' things, with another who says 'mostly false' things. Boo.
