So, first you deny 90% of Americans support background checks.

Then when presented with irrefutable proof that they do, you change your opinion to "Clearly, these 90% of people are misinformed."

You heard it here, folks.

These aren't even scientific polls. I'm willing to deny it.

If I make a poll on my P99 website asking how many people like video games, then I'm sure it would be over 90%.

Willful ignorance can involve outright refusal to read, hear or study, in any way, anything that does not conform to the person’s worldview. With regard to oneself, this can even extend to fake locked-in syndrome with complete unresponsiveness.

I never denied anything. You have me confused for someone else. I saw those polls a week ago and rolled my eyes at the ignorance, and will continue to point out why they are wrong at every opportunity.

Now answer my question.

What exactly is "expanding" background checks? All FFL dealers already require Form 4473 and perform NICS background checks for every transaction, even at gun shows.

A little reading comprehension? The questions are pretty fucking clear.

Sorry, you're not weaseling your way out of this one, bub.

I already told you why these polls are retarded as fuck.

It's the same deal when you buy a gun online, it isn't just next-day shipped straight to your door. You have to send it to a FFL dealer, fill out a Form 4473, and pass a NICS background check before they will release it to you. Some states even have waiting periods.

Let me re-iterate: We've already had these laws on the books since 1968. It seems to me you are the one problems with reading comprehension problems.

[Stinkum]

So once again, I irrefutably prove you wrong. Once again, you ignore that fact and then change the goal post.

You're a weasel. That's your entire modus operandi.

I'll take your constant evasions as a concession of defeat.

Yea the people agree with background checks. GOOD THING WE ALREADY HAVE THEM HUH. I'd like to keep guns out of your hands, you are too stupid to not make a mess.


It's like asking, "Should we invade Afghanistan?" and 91% of people saying yes. It's besides the point-- because we're already in fuckign Afghanistan anyway

The part in bold isn't even close to being attempted so stop getting your panties in a bunch over crap you are making up. Background checks do not make anything illegal.

Even if they did 'ban' military style assault weapons that would not make semi-automatic weapons illegal, only certain envisioned/designed/tested to kill humans during every step of their creation assault weapons.

For someone who is presenting themselves as pro-gun you really know little about weaponry.

The "military style assault" is a misnomer of liberal media proportions. Most hunting rifles have the same characteristics and are even chambered in larger rounds, yet because they don't look scary get a pass. Also I'm pretty sure all guns are designed to kill, it's kind of the point.

Background checks are currently required in sales made by federally licensed gun dealers, but not for gun sales by private sellers.

The questions are asking if people would support requiring criminal background checks for ALL gun sales.

Around 90% of people in every poll said yes.

[Black Jesus]

You can only do like 2 sales in your life before needing an FFL. It's literally like .00001% of gun sales, and has background checks via required escrow of FFL in like every state but Utah. 10th amendment issue really.

The "gun show loophole" is one of the biggest myths the liberal media has dreamt up. In 99% of the undercover news video cases, state and/or federal laws are actually being broken: proving that laws DONT WORK
