Yes No Unsure
Now in this case, I'm not really sure what the point is. Asking people if they believe in historical facts? Why? Wouldn't a more appropriate question be something like "Do you believe that tighter gun control laws will ultimately lead to gun confiscation and citizen disarmament?", or something along those lines?

right. but that means they have to account for Canada, if they want to argue the contrapositive: that any registration implies a dictatorship. Canada has a gun registration system but enjoys a much higher rating on the freedom of speech and freedom of the press than we do.

Getting the average american to believe they aren't #1 on all things freedom is in general a daunting task, for that matter.
