“every Black male 18-35” is approximately 3% of the US population. Current NRA membership in total is about 1.5% of the US population. I do not trust current statistics on gun ownership personally - I know I would never tell a pollster if I owned a firearm. None of their business. The mass media tell us that gun ownership is declining as a fraction of the population. My club’s membership has doubled in the last 10 years. I know how I interpret that.

"I would never tell a pollster if I owned a firearm. None of their business.

Yeah. I might tell a pollster I own a firearm right after I give my credit card number to the guy with the Indian accent who called from a non-existent area code at 6:01 AM on Thanksgiving and wanted to fix my computer.

How many people actually own guns?

If you thought a fire extinguisher and a smoke alarm made your home safer, what are the chances that you would own one? My guess is that it would be pretty close to 100%. (Based on Gallup, my guess is that at least 63% to 69% of US households own guns now.)

What % of that same demographic is/has been incarcerated (IE: More than likely to currently be ineligible, illegally I might add*, to exercise their 2nd A Rights)?

*One is either a felon, and thus should be behind bars, or a FREE Man with Rights. To say otherwise creates classes of Citizens and is antithesis to our Founding and Constitution.

Plus, though I might have signed up with them in the Past, the NRA does NOT care about the 2nd; they do/have backed ‘sensible gun control’ and Reid. Thanks, but no thanks. Give your time, and $$, to an organization that stands on principle(s).
