Michael Moore is speaking as “we” again. Now that the “99 percent” who made up the Occupy movement have become the 90 percent demanding universal background checks, Moore is rallying his army to resurrect the gun control push that failed in the Senate today. Moore did make an effort of sorts; he appeared on “Piers Morgan Tonight” to incite a Twitter campaign to demand Sen. Harry Reid call a vote on an assault weapon ban, and he convinced Netflix to stream his “documentary” “Bowling for Columbine” for free.
Time for Plan B? The 90 percent demand action! Will they march in the streets like he predicted to Piers Morgan?
.@MMFlint 90%? Hey look, I can make up numbers too! 14! 35678! 2!

@MMFlint You know the 90% deal was a lie and not a real # right? It's not 90%. You are not the majority. Don't believe your own propaganda.

.@MMFlint That 90% BS "stat" you spout is from a study surveying 1,000 people across 3 states…try again. #falseinfo #BSstats

@MMFlint Where does this 90% statistic come from? We aren't gun nuts. Enthusiasts maybe, owners even, But nuts we are not.

@MMFlint lies, damn lies, and statistics. According to Gallup, only 4% of Americans think gun control is an important problem.

Yeah, that 90 percent number is totally bogus. Bette Midler can tell you it’s actually 91 percent.
Today, the US SENATE VOTED AGAINST 91% OF THE COUNTRY THAT WANTS BACKGROUND CHECKS. WE ARE TAKING NAMES, MOTHERFUCKERS!!

Wait, did she say 91 percent?
RT if you agree: I am one of the 92% of Americans who support background checks for gun sales. #NowIsTheTime
