Or maybe those who want to answer on survey they have guns in their home is low.
Who do you trust with that information?

According to the survey only 32% of Americans own a gun themselves or live in a house with someone who does, that number matches a record low set in 2010.That just means the other 2/3's are not telling, which is the correct response to a survey of this type.

The numbers on the decline of gun ownership are directly tied to the dramatic increase in numbers of horrific boating accidents.

Why would any gun shop even comment on this possibly bogus poll that the media is obviously pushing like hell? Why help propogate a lame-assed meme like this?
"Hello, this is Acme Polling. Do you have a firearm in your home?"

"Hmmm... I'll put that down as a no."

So why the decline in gun ownership but an increase in sales? Theres no clear answer, but Ellis has some ideas. All right, I'll 'fess up. It's me.

Millions of guns were lost in cataclysmic cataracts along the Chattahoochee River.
It was a catastrophe!

More guns sold in the last 8 years then in the 20 to 30 before it.
But nobody owns them.
Odd.
Maybe this is what they mean, when they say guns are on the street. They mean it literally. The guns are literally on the street, owned by no one.

Where do they get their data I wonder. From doctors? Raise your hand if you lie to those guys when they ask if you have guns in your house.

Its a significant decline since the early 1980s, when about half of Americans
told researchers there was a gun inside their home.
**********************************
NONE of the people I know (mostly all hunters with what a Leftist would describe as mini-arsenals) would admit to having a single gun in the house in this day and age.

“But nobody owns them.”
__________-
It means that fewer people own guns, but the ones who do own more than one.
