142. I disagree with about every thing you are saying
we already have background checks on 90% of all handguns purchased. Extending that to the 10% of individual purchases will not cost a fortune or step on anyones right.
No recent polls show what I am saying except for the one commented on by Luntz, even though he didn't do the poll.
There are no other recent ones, so I don't think you can say the new ones would be any different.
As for confiscation, I have already said it should not extend to long guns. So please toss that one out. I'm not calling for registration of current guns only at sale. Throw out the Canada part.

Ok on the false dichotomy if you'd ever answer my constant request for you to come up with ANY solution to the problem of hand gun violence and guns in the hands of crooks.

I'd be all for a referendum by a neutral source on if the American voters would support background checks on all handgun sales to prevent crooks, terrorist and mentally impaired from gaining easy access in the same way we already do for the 90% of handguns sold by dealers. If not 60% of the voters were for such a law, i wouldn't call for it. If it showed more than that favored such a law and would vote for the party that supports it, would you also?
