Are we doing ourselves any favors repeating this 90% number?

110. Well, why don't you straighten it all out for us.

The issue is whether Democrats should be concerned about continuing to support a Democratic position.

Indeed. Should we be concerned about a Democratic position that may do more harm than good to the country and to the party . That was my original response to you and my repeated requests for an explanation (twelve so far) that would make the legislation merit our support.

Explain how a system of universal background checks will work. Explain how it will be effective. Explain how it will not be an invasion of privacy. Explain how you will prosecute violators.

If you support the legislation just like 65% of the public, you should be able to explain why it is a good thing. You have obviously given the matter a lot of thought, but I wonder what you have been thinking. Have you considered the law's potential efficacy? Have you sussed out the sociocultural ramifications of how the law will work? Have you contemplated the political ramifications for the Democratic party if it is enacted? You don't appear to have done so. Your use of boilerplate slogans, defensive accusaitons sans content and polling results like a mantra would indicate that the bulk of your consideration has been whether or not you have allied yourself with a majority - any majority - without considering whether or not the majority is doing the right thing. That's a pretty self serving way to discharge ones duties as a citizen.

Where did you find gun nut in the dictionary?

It's your phrase, not mine.

I'm trying to figure out now how an interrogation wouldn't be transparent.

Me too. As a Democrat.
