Here is a question, since “Ann” who calls me daily to help me with lower credit card bills, who responds to random phone calls?

Sigh
All mine just plumb disappeared one long weekend, several years ago.
Guess I just forgot where I left ‘em.

I do tend to believe it. New households, younger people who have been indoctrinated all their lives against guns and any bitter clinger symbols — many of these are urban apartment dwellers — sure I believe they aren’t buying guns. We all know counter examples, and people who have always had guns are buying more along with many new customers, but I do believe it.
Certain FReepers are also skeptical on the homo marriage polls. Believe it. These changes are really happening to society. The polls, although capable of exaggeration, bias and loaded questions, do tend to be right. They were on the election even as FReepers heavily criticized their oversampling of democrats. Turned out to be right on.
This rapid decline, quickening at a parabolic rate, is hard for many of us to take. But no sense in denying it is happening.

Gander Mtn & Bass Pro Shops (yeah, they sell guns & ammo)

Let’s see....
315 Million people...X....34% = 107 Million + gun owners in America,
I doubt this should give anyone considering weapon confiscation, any comfort....
Especially since it’s likely a lowball number....

To: steve86
maybe in the cities, but out here in the hills, boys still call a fag a fag, can't wait to get their first BB-gun and are taught to shoot from an early age... and Chicago University is hardly an unbiased institution that is quite capable of making the stats fit their views
then again city populations are on the rise

Most those people I mentioned also have CHLs now too. Leftists have no idea what can of worms they will open if they try to ban guns. I predict a butt-kicking for them in the mid-terms unless the Repubs do something to shoot themselves in the feet again.

I’ll bet that a phone survey in Berlin in 1932 would have found many fewer Jewish households admitting that fact than a few decades earlier.
The poll is toro mierda, a libtard’s fever fantasy.

The Dem/libs have been engaging in a steady push to infringe on our right to keep and bear arms for decades. And this is how it has been working out for them in the last two decades...
- The percentage of Americans who own guns has increased.
- The percentage of Americans who believe we have a right to own guns has increased.
- The number of guns owned per gun owner has increased.
- The amount of ammunition possessed per gun owner has increased.
- Concealed carry laws have spread from state to state like wildfire.
- Castle Doctrine laws have been passed in numerous states that didn't have them.
- Stand Your Ground laws have been passed in more states than had them before.
- Gun rights lobbying groups have become a cottage industry unto themselves sprouting up like mushrooms after a rainstorm.
- In the worst economy since the Great Depression the firearms industry can't keep up with orders or expand fast enough.
- 65.4 Million Guns Bought Since Obama Took Office, 91% More Than Bush's First-Term Total
And in the last two months... (Dec. 2012 and Jan. 2013)
MOLON LAVE! ;-)

I read recently, regarding the buying frenzy, that there was a gun sale every 1.5 seconds.
It’s probably slowed down a little...but only because there’s a shortage on guns...

Leave it to the idiot left media to report the exact opposite of truth, facts and reality.
