90% of U.S. Citizens want Background Checks??

[billybob44]

I keep hearing this figure-When-Where+How was this "Survey" taken?
NRA members are included in this poll??

What gives???..Bill.

I will have to find the link, but I read something in the last few days about that survey.

The question asked was something like "Do you want to restrict guns from the hands of criminals and mentally unstable people"? Of course almost everyone said yes. I'm surprised it wasn't 99%. They must have received 90% yes.

Then they reported the survey as 90% want Background Checks. The Liberals believe that Checks will keep the guns out of the hands of the Criminals and Mentally Unstable.

I heard that statistic on the news this morning and immediately called BS on it.

I sure as s*** cant find where to take these surveys... no way i believe this number.

 

[eldirector]

I've heard that pop up a few times lately as well.

It is a lie.

The catch is, we already have background checks and expanding them would have done nothing to prevent the massacre at Sandy Hook nor the the incident in Aurora. But it's a feel good measure they can live with until the next massacre then we will all be expected to give up something else and then something else until it's all gone. It has to stop here. There has to be a more effective way of preventing massacres than everyone giving up their Second Amendment rights.

I'm of the mind the background checks has done nothing to prevent violent criminals and the mentally insane from acquiring firearms if they so desire. Why even hassle the rest of us with this silly BS.

Control the words and you control the message.

This needs to be debunked publicly before the masses of sheeple begin to accept it as fact.

87.4 percent of all statistics are, in fact, made up right there on the spot, without any supporting data.

Communist News Network, CNN reported that their poll indicated that 52% of Americans disapprove of the President's approach on gun control while only 41% were in favor.

You gotta be making that one up. No way Cnn would report a majority disapprove of anything the president does.

Well, this wasn't the one.

CNN outsourced a poll and 45% agree with how he's handling the gun rights. 3% don't care and that leaves 52% that disagree with him.

 

[TheRude1]

Remember the truth does not effect humans like that

 

[foszoe]

those that disapprove of his handling could mean they don't think he is moving fast enough or doing as much as he should

thats a very slippery question

 

[stephen87]

True, still that means that Obama doesn't know crap when it comes to what the people want.

Your absolutely right.
It's like people who fight over words (ex:em's fight'in words) and resort to violence or other frivolous behavior over it. Before you know it, we will loose the freedom to even mumble.

Poll was 1001 people.. They are trying to base policy on 1001 people...

[ModernGunner]

Such surveys are virtually always bogus.

The ONLY way that anyone could accurately arrive at a "90%" figure is if they polled 100% of adults in the country.

Seen any surveys with a sample size of, say 250 million?

Didn't think so.

 

[Tombs]

What do Americans really think?

Gee, I don't know, lets use a poll that only includes those who will take action.

Wow, how shocking.

 

[TTravis]

This is a prime example of the fact that some people believe their own BS.
