"While it's impossible to tell exactly how many police officers support Kerry, the typical layperson listening to these debates {without benefit of the internet and transcriptions} would assume by all the above statements that Kerry had the support of most law enforcement officers. I know I certainly did until I done a little research. "
Well, that may be. It is possible to make a fallacious assumption based upon a statement made by a politician. But Kerry never stated he had the support of every police officer. Again, he's saying that the AWB is good for police officers because it means they can worry less about assault weapons used against them, and if he were President when the AWB was to be extended or dumped, he would have worked with them to extend the ban for their benefit.
