Conservatives own 200,000,000 guns and a trillion rounds of ammo. If we were violent you’d know it in a heartbeat!

I promise you I only had one and lost it years ago when I moved I almost had one. It was my grand daddy's pistol, but my daddy got a hold of it first, and won't give it to me :-(

Anyone who would tell a pollster how many, and what kind of guns they own, is an idiot.

“Theyre just trying to build a case that gun owners are too few to worry about at election time.”
Trying to stigmatize gun owners. But somebody needs to tell them that we won’t be as easy to exterminate as the Kulaks were.

The Obama Gun "Super Owner" - New Study Finds 50% Of Guns Owned By Just 3% Of Population I'll just concentrate and rely on the OTHER 50% thankewvery much.
Incidentally, it does not require a genius or a university study, or a think tank to know that 95% of the ILLEGAL HAND GUNS AND HEAVY WEAPONS ARE IN THE HANDS OF ABOUT 13% OF THE POPULATION

"Gun owning respondents owned an average of 4.85 firearms..." Pikers. Maybe they're beginners. Or Democrats.

And thats the delicious irony of it all, that the Jug-eared Commie Usurper has caused the sale of more guns to lawful owners than anyone else, likely in all of U.S. history. Even better -- Jugears caused the manufacturers to respond to the heightened demand, which caused prices to fall for firearms across the board, thereby enabling more law abiding citizens to become gun owners.
Delicious irony, ain't it?

"...we've bought 100 million since Obama got in. There are a lot more than 270 million guns here, that's for sure."I think the number is about 150 million NICS background checks since Obama was elected. I don't know if I am typical or atypical, but the last time I made a purchase, I bought 3 (three) guns at the same time, on 1 (one) NICS background check.
This study is silly.
My own guesstimate is that there are at least 450 million firearms in private hands in the country.

That’s an amazing chart. I had no idea there were that many calibers the first time I saw it.

The reason I say that this study is silly is this:
Gallup: More Than Six in 10 Americans Say Guns Make Homes Safer
http://www.gallup.com/poll/179213/six-americans-say-guns-homes-safer.aspx
If 63% believe that firearms (or fire extinguishers, or smoke alarms, or home security systems) make homes safer, my guess it means that roughly 63% OWN firearms (or fire extinguishers, or or smoke alarms, or home security systems). Therefore, I believe that their estimate of firearm ownership is not just low, it's ridiculously low.
