    Not to a private seller. "there are fewer barriers to buying a gun privately than there are to voting. The private gun sale requires no wait, no identification, and no easily enforceable disqualifications."

    Apples to oranges.

    When you are talking about a private seller.

    From what I've gathered (finding a recent study or exact number is tricky for obvious reasons. However I do think it's safe to assume some percentage higher than 30% is a conservative estimate), roughly 40% of firearms sold or obtained (transfer/gift) in the united states far under this, IE NO BACKGROUND check. You think that is ok?

    I think there is no way to stop it.

    Also, shockingly, there is some fake news here.

    The ruling actually just removed a flagging method that was opposed by mental health providers.

    Nope...youarewrong.

    There is simply no statistical relevance of a sample of, say 1,000 people's opinions to say that represents 128,000,000 people.

    And the loop is closed.

    Russian bought the election and Trump profited.

    Republican credibility lost. They are fascists.

    I do not believe that to be an unbiased link but it is interesting to note this was also backed by the aclu and many other groups who would not normally be involved in gun control arguments.

    Again, that is not correct. Look at a sample size calculator.

    http://www.surveysystem.com/sscalc.htm

    I did 300M ppl with a 95% and a confidence interval of 1 and survey size is 9k.

    Most polling companies use 400 or 1000 people in their samples. There is a reason for this:
    A sample size of 400 will give you a confidence interval of +/-5% 19 times out of 20 (95%)
    A sample size of 1000 will give you a confidence interval of +/-3% 19 times out of 20 (95%)

    If its a truly random sample size then you are correct.
