What is in decline is poll participants responding truthfully, if at all.
Either that, or there has been a plethora of tragic boating accidents. :-)
Yup. Gun sales have been at record rates for years, as have CCW applications. With the gov’t threats of gun registration etc., people are afraid to respond truthfully.
In today's America run by Obama, Holder/Lynch, Jarrett, and the Clintoons, who would tell the truth about guns and voting for Trump to a pollster or any stranger.
That was my first (and only) thought on the matter. Who in America right now that owns a gun would honestly tell the questioner anything remotely true.
I assume that all of the positive surveyed have already been added to the NFAP(?) database for future questioning.
You are 100% correct.
“What is in decline is poll participants responding truthfully, if at all.”
Very few people are going to respond truthfully to a poll on this issue - few with firearms are unaware of the intense/maniacal desire of the Left to strip us of our right to defense of self, family and liberty, so they don’t want to advertise it. Further, ordinary street criminals (as opposed to the suited ones that we pay too well to pretend to be “public servants”) might get ahold of the information, resulting in your house being robbed (best case) or invaded (rather worse).
Polls are, by and large, garbage. This one, in the face of record after record in NICS checks over the last 7 1/2 years, is the poster child for that idea.
How stupid are they? They sold 15 million a year, a gun almost never is worn out, and there are less of them?
I know what I’d do if someone did a poll on gun ownership
“What is in decline is poll participants responding truthfully, if at all.”
Exactly. Someone calls up and asks how many guns do you have in your household. We know how most will answer that question.

Exactly.
Would you tell a stranger,who has your phone number,how many guns you have?
