Most everybody supports reasonable back round checks as long as the corrupt and increasingly arrogant Federal Government and the Progressive/Socialist/Communist - Democrats have nothing to do with it. Reasonable checks, "Instant Checks" are even supported by the NRA but if a person already has access, has guns, has a clean history why should they be delayed and harassed by Government Goons who really only have one evil agenda, Confiscation and Enslavement.

Despite concerns about how information on gun owners might be used, 91 percent of registered voters support universal background checks, according to a new poll released on Thursday.
Despite concerns about how information on gun owners might be used, 91 percent of registered voters support universal background checks, according to a new poll released on Thursday.
Only 8 percent of voters surveyed by Quinnipiac University's Polling Institute March 26 to April 1 stated opposition to universal background checks—something the White House, many Democrats in Congress and and gun-violence opponents are pushing in the wake of the December shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. In households with guns, 88 percent of respondents expressed support for checks.
Many lawmakers and administration officials have used polling indicating strong support for universal background checks to urge the closure of background-check loopholes for gun show sales and elsewhere.The support for such checks comes despite concerns about how that information could be applied. Forty-eight percent of voters surveyed said they believe information will be used by the government in the future to confiscate legally owned guns. Thirty-eight percent of respondents said they don't believe it will be used in that manner.
Additionally, 59 percent of respondents support an assault weapons ban, while 36 percent oppose it, the poll found. The administration and key gun-reform advocates in Congress have advocated a ban on assault weapons, although this currently has little chance of passage in Congress after it was separated from gun-reform legislation to be offered by Senate Democrats.
A ban on high-capacity magazines also earned a majority of support—58 to 38 percent—in the survey.
