Once again, I've never met Munchie and have never been rolled by a pimp. You should research your sources.

Obama criticized for using dated, disputed gun stat to sell background checks

Some choice excerpts:

- During several speeches, Obama has said 40 percent of all gun purchases were made without a background check. But that number is nearly two decades old and comes from a poll with a relatively tiny sample size.
- The oft-cited figure, it turns out, was pulled from a 1997 study done by the National Institute of Justice. In the study, researchers estimated about 40 percent of all firearm sales took place through people other than licensed gun dealers. The conclusion was based on data from a 1994 survey of 2,568 households. Of those, only 251 people answered the question about where they got their guns.
- The president isn't the only one who's used the 40 percent figure to make a point. Many others stumping for the cause have pulled from the same info pile, (i.e. - Kirsten Gillibrand, Mayor Doomberg.)
