I have pointed out that we can't trust anti gunners, because they have an irrational fear of guns and the people who own them. The anti gun leadership and their surrogates are essentially the new wave of Book Burners. Book Burners are the people who were afraid of the ideas in books, like Slaughterhouse 5, Catcher in the Wry......so they would get those books banned, and in public displays, they would gather up those books and burn them......
Anti 2nd Amendment extremists are essentially the Book Burners of guns...which is the reason pro 2nd Amendment people do not trust them.
For example, the irrational fear of the anti gunners compels them to lie about guns, and gun owners. The example for this post is the idea that 90% of Americans support universal background checks, a number you see when we get onto the topic here and in the news. The problem with this number....? The anti gunners are polling uninformed people to get their results. These people don't understand the issue, and many of them actually believe no background checks currently exist....and the anti gunners use this ignorance to get the 90% poll number....
The National Sport Shooting Foundation commissioned their own poll....and informed the people taking the poll about actual, current federal background checks at gun shows....and for licensed dealers....and here is what they actually found....
Americans Don't Think 'Universal Background Checks' Extension for Gun Shows Are Needed, National Poll Finds • NSSF
Only four out of ten Americans support so-called “universal background checks” at gun shows after being informed that the vast majority of firearms sales at these shows are transacted by licensed retailers that already conduct such checks through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) as required by federal law. The poll results stand in contrast to the vague claim often reported in the media and attributed to gun control proponents without important contextual detail that 90 percent of Americans surveyed support “universal background checks.”
These findings were the among the results of a national scientific poll of more than 1,200 Americans conducted in November by McKeon & Associates and released today by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the trade association for the firearms and ammunition industry.
The McKeon poll found that only 40 percent of respondents said that extension of “universal background checks” to private transactions at gun shows are necessary, while 53 percent said they are not necessary and 7% said they did not know.
The Americans polled also said by a combined 74 percent margin that conducting background checks against an incomplete database was not effective at all or not very effective while 54 percent said that requiring background checks for transferring guns between friends and family members was not at effective at all or not very effective in reducing violent crime.
