On guns; It's not me that is unwilling to compromise. It is the gun owners and users. I know them and I'm just telling you the facts as usual you are wrong again thedailybanter.com Does the NRA agree with Wayne LaPierre? Nearly three quarters (74 percent) of NRA members supported requiring a background check system for all gun sales, according to a poll released Monday by Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health. The survey found 89 percent of all Americans support the proposal. (The Johns Hopkins program has received financial support, and is named after, New York City mayor and gun control advocate Michael Bloomberg.) Would the NRA support expanded background checks to prevent mentally ill citizens listed on the NICS from buying firearms at gun shows or on the internet? Clearly not, because it spent untold millions of dollars in defiance of 74 percent of its own members campaigning against the Manchin-Toomey amendment, which would’ve closed those background-check loopholes nationally.
