In its Guide to U.S. Public Opinion on Guns, published after the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, Gallup includes a section on six different polls, which show that Southern, married men are the most likely to own a gun and non-Southern, unmarried women are the least likely to own a gun.
"Men are three times more likely than women to personally own guns," reported Gallup based on an analysis of polls taken between 2007 and 2012. "Gun ownership also varies significantly by region, with Southerners more likely to own guns than those living in other regions of the United States."
"Marriage is also a strong predictor of gun ownership," said the polling firm.

Why yes. I'm always truthful and forthcoming when some polling organization contacts me. No, really.

So, are Southern men less, or more likely to lie to pollsters?

Gang banger and criminals are the most likely to have guns but I did not read the article to find out.

Every Southern woman that I dated had a pistol in her purse. Every last one.

Gallup interviewed 6,103 adults, 18 and older, by telephone, in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.Strong skewness right there counting on people to have a traditional phone...and answer it.
"The strong relationship between gender and personal gun ownership may be due to men's being more likely than women to participate in activities that require guns"Why does that remind me of "This is my rifle, this is my gun..." and men requiring guns to, uh, participate in certain "activities"?

"...Marriage is also a strong predictor of gun ownership,.." Got to be able to protect yourself!😎

The communists just need to keep believing those “polls”.
They’re in for a very rude awakening.

The statistics that clearly show the link between democrats, violent crime, drugs, and poverty are simply ignored.

My wife already had one...
To: rktman
A stranger calls you on your phone and asks if you own a gun...and your answer is “Yes”?
Really?

Just have to take a look at the demographics of southern states to understand that. I was told by my drivers ed instructor that every southern girl who got her drivers license was also given a glove box pistol by her father.

I gather that on average, southern girls own one or two guns, southern guys, on average, own more.
