Credibility Poll

24. quinni poll is how it's done, learn

dscntnt: The same polls that conclude half to two thirds of those surveyed believe registration data will be used to confiscate guns? Are those the polls you're thinking of?

The quinni poll questions are ambiguous, they could be interpreted in a couple opposing ways; to gunnuts they will say 'yes registration will enable govt to confiscate my legally owned guns for doing nothing wrong'.
Guncontrol advocates will answer 'yes registration will enable govt to confiscate illegally owned firearms from gunowners disallowed to have them' OR 'yes registration will allow govt to confiscate legally owned firearms from gunowners when they have become outlawed due new legislation or the gunowners become ineligible to own firearms'.

My premises above are borne out by the quinni question in the very poll your figures come from, where 91% of american support bg checks; why pray tell, would they support to such strength if they thought subsequent confiscation was wrong illicit or harmful?

quinni: Do you support or oppose requiring background checks for all gun buyers?"
3/26, 2013: Support 91% ... Oppose 8% ... Unsure 1%

polling report, quinni: "If the federal govt does create a national list of people who own guns, do you think the govt would use that information to take guns away from people who own them?" Yes/No/Unsure - 66/32/2%
- "Do you believe that if there are background checks for all gun purchases the govt will or will not use that information in the future to confiscate legally-owned guns?" Will/Will not/Unsure - 48/38/14

WRT the 48% portion who think background checks will be used to confiscate legally owned firearms, at least 83% of them (or 40% of all polled) also believe that the very bg checks should become law.
So your implication that gun confiscation due bg checks is deemed sinister by those polled, is demonstrably wrong.
