From Sheriff Terry Maketa facebook page :

In response to the US Senate Bill that was defeated, the President constantly stated that 90% of the American people supported this background check bill. I was curious where he came up with his claim of 90%.

Based on the information I found, what he is quoting is a poll conducted by the Washington Post in March of this year. What we don't know is the number of people surveyed and the demog...raphics of those participants. What is important is how the question was presented. Here is the question from that poll, "Would you support or oppose a law requiring background checks on people buying guns at gun shows?" 90% of the registered voters that responded said they would support.

I have no doubt that if you asked voters if they want guns kept out of the hands of criminals, the answer would be unanimously, yes. The question was about gun shows. I may be incorrect, but I do not recall seeing the words "gun show" in the federal background legislation (S-649 -113 Congress) that was defeated by the US Senate.

Additionally, in that same survey by the Washington Post, registered voters were asked, "Do you favor or oppose stricter gun control laws in this country?" 52% responded they favor, but only 42% felt strongly about favoring. I share this so you can read, for yourself, the actual question and compare that response to the one the President did not share during his "shameful" speech.

He truly misrepresented the facts of the survey and used those numbers to justify this Federal Bill and his agenda. He also failed to mention those states that want to implement background checks have that ability, and have elected to not participate. This was his attempt to circumvent states rights under the 10th Amendment. Those states that do not have background checks are most likely following the will of their electors, again showing more evidence this President's claim is not accurate nor true.

By the way, he also claims 60% of gun purchases are conducted through background checks which is most likely true. However, he represents this law was to capture the other 40%. The reality is the 40% includes stolen weapons, transfers between criminals, lawfully gifted between family and friends, through estates settlements and a small percentage through personal privates sales. It is actually a very small number that represents guns transfers between two law abiding unknown parties.
