The reference was to recent polls indicating that voters — even gun owners — overwhelmingly support a system of across-the-board background checks.

Hmmm. I wonder how the question was phrased in these "polls"? Also, what was the composition of the people surveyed, i.e., how many Democrats, how many Republicans?
