I'd love to know where his "80% of Tennesseans support a mandatory background check" statistic came from

Probably asked five soccermoms in Nashville, and only one of them gave an intelligent answer, then extrapolated that data to represent all of TN.
If you look at how those polls are usually worded, they either imply that there is no current background check requirement (even for dealers) and ask a general question about supporting a requirement for background checks, or they just ask if the person supports a background check requirement (implying that they are only asking about dealer transactions) and 'interpret' the responses to cover private sales. The key is to select mainly people that know jack shit about the current gun laws, and word the questions to make them think that there are currently very, very few restrictions on gun sales.
