Our ruling

In her op-ed, Giffords said polls show that Americans "overwhelmingly" support "expanding background checks." Four independent polls taken in the previous month showed that some sort of expansion of background checks earned the support of between 83 percent and 91 percent of respondents, a level of backing we think qualifies as "overwhelming." We rate her statement True.

Fuck Gabby Giffords....Grandstanding little hack.

 

[buckeye45_73]

I support putting crazies in institutions and killing murderers....that's far better than background checks. In the 50s no background checks and no crazy nonsense like today....hmmmmmmmmm

 

[DiamondDave]

And Ted Nugent says the opposite.. I guess they cancel each other out... so let's get back to reality

Ted Nugent was politifacted?

Oh he wasn't, you're just trolling.

I feel so sorry for her. She is an illustration of why emotions have no place in this kind of debate.

Politfcated??

Puh-lease

you have one winger claiming one thing and another winger claiing another.. it is that fucking simple...

Oh you troller of numerous troll threads

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Well, not sure how 4% of Americans think GC is important equates to this... but hey, whatever.

 

[DiamondDave]

Giffords would have had more trouble finding support for her claim had she either set a numerical threshold or had she been more specific about the kind of background checks Americans are comfortable with.

Or the fact that the gun show loophole myth has already been debunked

And one has proof and the other doesn't....but you're right, they are both the same thing. There is no such thing as truth or fiction, absolutely correct sir!

No.. there is proof that she claimed it.. and since she was not specific, she has polls that support a wide scope idea.. yet not all on the same subject.. and not with any clarification of the myth of the 'gun show loophole' or other things...

But nice try, yet again

There Is proof that she claimed it and there is proof it's true. Feel free to stop yapping and post the proof that shows Nugent statement to be true.

Thanks,

Our ruling

In her op-ed, Giffords said polls show that Americans "overwhelmingly" support "expanding background checks." Four independent polls taken in the previous month showed that some sort of expansion of background checks earned the support of between 83 percent and 91 percent of respondents, a level of backing we think qualifies as "overwhelming." We rate her statement True.

And there are states that have banned gay marraige yet I bet Gabby doesn't care about their wishes.

No.. there is not proof that it is true.. as the polls cited are not all on the same thing, nor do they clarify anything at all.. no degrees, no knowledge of existing law, etc.. there is not anything clear that 90% of the populace wants increased gun control.. and that is explained when you further look in to your little 'politifact' claim writeup

But we know that does not stop the likes of you and other wingers (like Gabby) with ludicrous claims

Over 90 percent of Americans support gun background checks: poll | Reuters

Its a poll, it doesn't need all that: Over 90 percent of Americans support gun background checks: poll | Reuters

Like Nugent being true? You find that link yet buddy? Did it get lost?

Let Congress keep doing the exact opposite of what people want and we will see their approval drop below head lice.
