I keep reading that 90% of Americans favor universal background checks, including the majority of NRA members. No one ever asked me to participate in a poll. Where did this stat come from?
The 40% straw purchase number is another one that gets trotted out in every debate. Where did this one come from? I hear it's 20 years old, and complete BS, but haven't found a good explanation of the source.
There doesn't seem to be any significant pushback against these stats online, in print, or on the radio, if indeed they are baloney. What gives?
