In comments made Friday, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said the National Rifle Association (NRA) is a "fringe group" that is "very extreme."
Moreover, according to Schumer, the NRA doesn't "represent average gun [owners]."
Schumer says that during the 1990s the NRA used their lobbying power to fill background checks with loopholes, thus leading to a situation where "40 percent of all guns sold in American have no [background] check."
You'll recall that Obama also used this "40 percent" claim when pushing for more gun control earlier in the week. This claim goes back to a 2011 study by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, where secondary, private guns were lumped in with new guns sales in an attempt to justify saying guns were entering the marketplace with no background checks whatsoever.

And trial lawyers don't do the same? Are they "fringe" with illicit lobbying efforts, too?

Just as the TEA PARTY is a “fringe group” and “extreme” and the OCCUPY CROWD is a “mainstream movement of patriotic Americans”. - What little I saw of Obama’s Immaculation today, it looked like he was making a little effort not to stick his nose in the air and strike a “Stalin” pose.
Just wait till we are REALLY pissed Chuckie!
He was implying that 40% was the mom and pop tables at gun shows and garage sales etc like private transfers and sales that use no 4473 ......
Schumer is a schemer of the nth degree as we all well know ....
He speaks he lies .
Doom on the polidiot POS.
They do this to splinter our side...and with the help of their propaganda media they turn the peasant class against us. It works, so why think they will not say ever increasingly outrageous lies about us? Evil is pushing them and it will not be all that long till blood will be their sport.
Here’s a blast from the past regarding extremism and count me in.

Lolz....only the low information voters believe that nonsense. Of course, there were enough of them to subject us to 4 more years of B.O. Sigh...
OK, Senator UpChuck, based on the numbers, which group would you consider more representative of the members of its target group? I guess this means you'll have to ignore the NOW gang, since MOST women in this country have nothing to do with them.
What does that make his supporters?
But wait! I’m a gun owner and I think the NRA is a fringe group. I think they are a left-wing fringe group that is far to the left of most gun owners.
So Chuckie, baby, I agree wit youse. We need to send a real right-wing lobbying group to D.C. to compete with it and nudge the NRA in the right direction.
Need to get the word out that these gun-grabbing politicians are actually the fringe group. How many of these vocal tyrants are there really? I bet it’s a whole lot less than the NRA.

More propaganda for the zero information public. Schumer thinks that because he was able to talk his way out of complicity in the economic collapse of 2007, that he can lie about anything.
The 40% figure is the biggest bit of hokum I’ve ever read. I could just as readily say that 75% of Democrtats have an IQ under 65, and it would probably be more accurate.
go here to see what happens when schmucky get called to the carpet!!!

And how many are walking around with armed guards?
This myth that 90% of gun owners want more restrictive laws is just pure BS.
Thanks for the link, Fee. I went there and filled it out for my wife and I, and sent a link to everybody that I know that shoots in my email list.
Chucky like to call all conservative positions “extreme”.
Fact is, he’s a extreme flaming liberal, socialist.
