Randy, not sure where your post went asking about the numbers, but here's a response anyway:
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/01/18/us/new-york-times-cbs-poll-on-guns.htmlScroll down to "Do you favor or oppose a federal law requiring background checks on all potential gun buyers?"
In Favor: 92% Opposed: 7%
http://www.mayorsagainstillegalguns.org/html/media-center/pr006-12.shtml"74 percent of NRA members and 87 percent of non-NRA gun owners support requiring criminal background checks of anyone purchasing a gun."
That one is from last May...I know there's a more current one with higher percentages yet, but couldn't find it in a few minutes of searching...if I get to it tomorrow I'll see if I can find it.
You'll also note in the poll that a majority of NRA members think gun owners should have to pass a safety test to get a permit, be over 21 to get a permit, that only folks who have not committed a violent misdemeanor (or felony) be given a permit, and that anyone with a past arrest for domestic violence should get a permit.
The NRA, of course, opposes every single one of those things...things that a majority of its members want.
Again...who exactly does the NRA represent?
Not its members, that's obvious.
Fish on...
