New Meh. Maybe I'd need to see the questions.
The poll was part of Gallup's old "Voice of the people" series - http://www.voice-of-the-people.net/ It apparently died in 2009 and the web site has lots of dead links.

500 people were polled for the survey in Germany in 2005. I can't find the questions anywhere.

The work seems to have been moved to http://www.GlobeScan.com and http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/

I don't have time to dig through it, and anyway, I think this is a distraction from the main issue - the fact that Germany's police use their guns an infinitesimally smaller amount of the time than the police in the US. Germany are rah-rah capitalism and also rah-rah government-has-a-large-responsibility-in-ensuring-basic-human-needs. They're not kow-towed by their government - http://www.reuters.c...TRE6AC21M20101113

I think I'm done. :-)

Cheers,
Scott.

New That's OK. It's an impossible argument on either side
Counter examples easy to throw, as well as bullshit studies that we'd want to see the questions on.

The key issue (to me of course, in the argument, not the actual point) is the ability to use your sources to "prove" (yeah, I know it didn't, but it sure cast a bit of doubt on yours. And that's the best I can hope for in this area.) my point.

Merely getting you to give up without telling me I'm full of shit and would require a bit of less than worthwhile research is a win.

thanks
I'll take them where I can get them.
