Yeah right; the big uptick in gun buying since 2009 and they claim this. Then again, the NSF, NORC and the rest of those leftists manufacture their “results” all the time . . .

when about half of Americans told researchers there was a gun in their household. —

When they TOLD researchers...

Not any more.

Don’t tell anyone, not the Doctor, etc.

And be careful boating.

Do they count the millions of gun owners who tell pollsters that they are not gun owners because all of their guns were lost in tragic boat accidents?

LOL! Sounds to me like the NARCs might want to look into what’s going on with the NORCs. Anybody who believes this garbage has been smoking too much bad weed.

On the other hand, our lakes and reservoirs are filling up with guns accidentally lost in canoeing accidents.

At this point, most people with brain cells realize answering ‘yes’ to a question involving ‘Do you own a firearm” is a really BAD idea.

Their survey only records those households willing to tell some stranger on the phone about their guns.

Yeah, a stranger calls - and you tell him what guns you own... yep - that’s gonna happen.

People are smart not to admit to a pole they own a firearm.

What Households?

A high rise government project building stuffed with pigeon-hole apartments occupied by one female and a half dozen kids by various unknown sperm donors might rate as a household in a government survey but is meaningless in this context.

Ruger sells their millionth gun earlier each year. 80 guns in 100 households sounds like a good start.

Sounds to me like the Americans are stockpiling.

The jerks who support the Statists are drawing down.

If you want an explanation for why that survey is meaningless go see this:

It was the choice of question:

Q: "Do you own a gun"

A: Of course not!

Not even remotely possible.

This “survey” is bogus.

Gun sales are off the charts; gun making is one of the few booming manufacturing businesses left in this country and stock prices have surged since the Marxist took office in 09.
If this survey is to be believed, it means that gun purchases are concentrating among gun enthusiasts and gun owners that fear tyrannical government. That not all bad; this would mean that the metrosexuals, trendies and Leftists are not buying guns. If/when martial law or its equivalent comes, they will be easy to round up and subjugated by the government. The zombies trying to escape the metroplexes will be unarmed and ripe for target practice.

Did they survey the Jews in the Ghettos back in the 30’s?

If they were found owning a Gun, they faced Execution.
In other words, what Obama aspires to do to Patriots.

This is not supportable by the facts. Here’s the data for 2013.
