The California-based nonprofit 97Percent took its name from a debunked Quinnipiac poll that claimed 97% of Americans supported mandatory background checks. The group calls the remaining 3-percent “loud voices who have crowded out conversation and prevented collaboration between gun owners and non-gun owners.”
97Percent never addresses the problems associated with polling gun owners, including their unwillingness to tell strangers there are firearms in their homes – especially over the phone. Instead, 97Percent says it focuses on policies that both gun owners and non-gun owners support.
