(44 posts)You do realize that I'm the one actually posting links to back the things that I say up. No one here has posted any recent polls supporting this 90% number or any data at all showing that "90% of constituents support background checks."
That said, the burden of proof isn't on me. The only survey that reflects that number is this one:

And it only surveyed 1,772 people from a few states.. in February.
I understand you and many other people want to paint this as some cut and dry issue, but that isn't the case and constantly repeating "90%" over and over again isn't going to make it any more valid. It works for the people that don't bother to actually fact check anything they're told, though, and that's the intended purpose.
