From CNN polls of course!

Politicians using CNN data to represent all of America's opinion.. sounds objective to me! not.

Statistics are meaningless without knowing the method. You can asked loaded questions and easily sway people

Assault weapons were used to murder children,should assault weapons be banned? Most people will say ok makes sense yes


Assault weapons seldom are used to commit mass murders while most murders are commited using a handgun,do you feel assault weapons should be banned? People will be more likely to say no.

In the end most people dont really have a clue on whats happening in the world they live in so they will answer questions based on assumptions and media exposure. I seldom give much weight to surveys.

It may vary state to state, but not everyone selling at gun shows is a dealer. If I have guns I want to sell I can get a stall and sell them just the same as if I'm going to a car swap meet.

:clap:

Those people are called Sheep and we all know sheep are clueless. Even when it comes to their own protection they have no idea.

I realize that. Outlawing or even trying to regulate private gun sales will not stop criminals from getting guns.

Drugs are outlawed and users still have no problem getting them.

So we ignore the Fox and USA Today and online surveys as well?

there is no "gun show loophole". The law at a gun show is the same as outside a gun show. That's just a phrase used to misrepresent the truth. Unfortunately there are many people who truly believe that if you're at a gun show that it's a free for all, and anyone can buy a gun there from anyone without any background checks. They think that one arena has a different set or laws, which is a lie.

Yes, personal transactions can happen without background checks, same as they can on Craigslist, at your house, etc. It is not a different set of laws for gun shows, it's the same laws. Any dealer must do a background check, private sales (depending on the state) do not. Same as two blocks away from the gun show.

If you want to eliminate this "loophole" then quit calling it a gun show loophole; call it a private sale loophole, and non dealer loophole, or whatever.

Your poll shows dropping support for a gun ban. Is that what you were trying to show?

Should Congress create laws based on surveys?
