91 percent of Americans support gun background checks: Poll

[Wall]

Who exactly did they poll? It sure as hell wasn't me.

"Despite concerns about how information on gun owners might be used, 91
percent of registered voters support universal background checks, according
to a new poll released on Thursday."................

75% of all polls are total bull, according to my most recent data.

They only polled those listed in the DNC that have gone on record being in favor of gun control. Lol.
I've seen polls from the pro gun sites that sing a different tune.
Polls are like statistics, you can make them say what ever you want them to say.

.... Polls are like statistics, you can make them say what ever you want them to say.

83% of statictistics you hear quoted are made up out of thin air on the spot.
or was that 91%??? Yea, that sounds better. 91%

We should take a poll..........nevermind we all know the answer

60% of the time...it works every time!

The issue with this poll is that it is supported and spread by the mainstream media, evidence enough that it is in your face when opening up yahoo. As for those that are too lazy or uninterested to dig into the facts of an issue that doesn't not affect them directly, they will believe what they see. More importantly humans seem to follow the masses, so when asked or polled for their opinion they will tend to agree with polls such as teh one listed.
