There are two big differences here. First, 90% were against the crossbow as opposed to a polled majority being in favor of AR/HR.
Second, there was NO science supporting EITHER side of the crossbow issue. It simply hadn't been studied. But there WAS plenty of accepted science to support AR/HR whether you now agree with it or not
Whoops! Forgot an important point. It was not just the UBP that opposed the xbow. It WAS 90% of all who chose to comment. Surely the UBP was well represented but not all those who wrote or called were from the UBP.
