I think can just have that pre-filled with a no...


Indeed. This is where I wish I had the time, opportunity and equipment to do some street interviewing videos:

Q: Do you think gun laws should be tougher

A: Yes


Q: What is wrong with the current gun laws:

A: There's too many guns at the moment


Q: How many guns are in Australia

A: I don't know


Q: How many guns would you consider too many

A: .......



or


Q: Do you think gun laws should be tougher

A: Yes

Q: What do you believe is the problem with the current gun laws:

A: Silence

Q: Are you even aware of what the current gun laws consist of?

A: Silence

Q: How can you justify wanting tougher gun laws when you're not aware of what the laws currently say?
the current gun laws

A: @$#@# Shut up


It'd make for a very interesting and entertaining youtube channel, and more importantly show the true ignorance that's out there.

Even better - could you imagine what it would be like if we could interview the current interviewers / journalists? Us ask and control the questions instead of Niel Mitchell, or The Panel staff, etc. Of course, they'd never go for it. They have to have control over the questions and conversation because their complete ignorance on the issue would be exposed...

The above is bang on, I've used that regularly having pro/anti gun debates with people.

Ask them first if they think the current laws should be tightened, let them get a firm, clear position on that, then ask them what they know of current laws and watch them fumble and go red trying trying to backtrack and justify their uneducated position.

You don't change many minds but at least you embarrass a few idiots and get them to shut up :mrgreen:
