84% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Bullshit. 75% are wrong 60% of the time.

That number is probably not far off, because most people don't even understand what "universal background checks" means, or if they do, do not understand the danger of that standard.

I know a LOT of people do support the concept of mandatory background checks for private party SALES . . . which is how UBC has been deliberately misrepresented to the public. HARDLY ANYONE KNOWS that this new law FORBIDS AND CRIMINALIZES: trades, gifts, loans, or simply storing a gun at another location for more than a few days . . . even if it involves extended family members.

Polls are easily designed to derive a desired end result.

...yet the populace has been dumbed down to the point that they make life decisions based on polls, what's trending on Twitter, or likes and "friends" on Facebook.

60% of the time it works all the time.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Careful. While I believe the Democratic party has followed the principle of the above quote, I'm 94.8% sure that the above quote is not accurate.

[spqrzilla]

Its a misrepresentation of a deliberately deceptive poll.
