6 Huge Problems With Hillary's Gun Control Venn Diagram
1. Gun owners are not American.
Venn diagrams typically feature two groups without universal overlap to illustrate the degree of overlap between them. If "gun owners" and "Americans" are two different groups, then who exactly is Clinton talking about? Gun owners in Canada? And how is that at all relevant?
2. 90 percent of Americans and 83 percent of gun owners do not support universal background checks.
This interpretation, the exact opposite of what Clinton's tweet likely means, is the most basic way of understanding this diagram. After all, the parts of the circles which do not overlap are entitled "90 percent of Americans" and "83 percent of gun owners," while the overlap of the remaining 10 percent and 17 percent is captioned "support universal background checks." Maybe Hillary is admitting that her liberal talking point is actually unpopular!
3. Some part of 90 percent of Americans and 83 percent of gun owners support universal background checks, but Clinton's staff just doesn't know how big that number is.
If the full circle (including the overlap) is "90 percent of Americans" and "83 percent of gun owners," respectively, then the point at which they overlap and "support universal background checks" cannot be determined by this diagram. That makes it essentially meaningless.
