donP: We keep being told that the control minded outnumber gun owners. e.g. 90% want more gun control etc.

DonP still up to what he does best, misleading with subtle lies.
That 90% is for one particular proposal, background checks, not gun control in general.
Gun control advocates would likely support that bg check measure near 100%, since the 90% figure includes most all of the pro gun element as well (any other issue is just stupid from donP).
See how you made a fool of yourself donP? you limited that 90% to 'control minded', when it included pro gun & indy minded as well.
Support for gun control is generally about 55 to 60% amongst americans overall, adults.

donP But all those folks never seem to be able to show up for protests, at election time and based on this, are too lazy to even bother voting in an online poll.

Again with the stupid, the misleading lies. We did just fine at election times, defeating pro gun candidates john mccain & mitt romney, even GWBush in the popular (your heroes it appears, since dems generally vote gun control candidates).
Laziness has nowt to do with it either. Most rational people would not want to waste time on an unscientific internet gun poll, which mainly feeds the egos of under educated gun nuts.
But you & your buddy beevul & a few others keep right on wasting your time on unscientific internet polls, thinking they actually prove something nice about guns & assault rifles.
