Two weeks ago, the PEW Research Center released a survey showing that gun ownership by households is up to 44% — a 7-percentage point increase in the past two years. Another 5% of households won’t reveal whether they own a gun. Yet, not a single mainstream American media headline has announced the increase.
In fact, the media goes out of its way to find polls claiming that Americans are turning away from guns. In their War on Guns they want to give the impression that gun owners are a small, fringe group. Maybe they are hoping that this will have an impact on policy. As General Social Survey director Tom Smith told me, a large drop in gun ownership would “make it easier for politicians to do the right thing on guns.”
In June, the Washington Post and Time magazine trumpeted a CBS News poll with this headline: “American gun ownership drops to lowest in nearly 40 years” and “The Weird Reason Why Gun Ownership in America Is at Its Lowest Point Since the 1970s.” Last year, an Associated Press headline announced: “Gun ownership in U.S. drops to record low.” Recent headlines in the New York Times and CNN declared: “Share of Homes With Guns Shows 4-Decade Decline” and “Fewer US gun owners own more guns.”
The Washington Post falsely assured readers, “The downward trend in gun ownership remains consistent across the national polls.” Bizarrely, if the Washington Post and CNN had relied on their own polls, their headlines would claim that gun ownership has remained constant over the years. But neither organization has run such headlines.
Only two surveys actually show a drop in gun ownership. . . .

I known two friends who I thought would never buy an AR-15 each bought one because of what is happening in our nation. Get them while you can...if Hillary wins they will be banned and/or confiscated.
When truth and narrative diverge, ignore truth. Simple foolproof recipe, been in use for decades.
Interesting video of the young shade tree gun smith.
He’s still young enough to say “back in the day” without a hint of irony.
12ga. Defibrillator contraption was very weird.
LOL. I don’t own one, either.
I said "I know most everything about my neighbors."
They started asking questions about my neighbors. I said nothing in response ... again and again and again.
They left.
Gun Control people don’t want guns banned.
They want YOUR guns banned.

“Voting for Trump. Training for Hillary.”
That is wise.
“I don’t own a single gun.”
Single gun would be a rarity as guns are notoriously heterosexual and prone to mate, producing numerous offspring.
‘So, Mr. Republican gun owner,...’
Dems buy guns too, a lot of them. This myth that only conservatives buy guns seems to play into the gun banners narrative - only bad (conservatives) people own guns. However, the truth is dems own and use guns. When confiscation comes perhaps libs believe theirs wont be collected too? I dont know but the fact is liberals love guns. Their problem with guns is that you can have them too. Make NO mistake about it your lib neighbors almost certainly are armed with guns.

Oh, man, that's why my gun safe is full! Somebody should have told me. I bet I could get in trouble for this...
I never owned a gun. Not a single one, ever.
It’s time to forget these false allegations so I can go back to work for the American people.
Shazzam!
Cool gig if you can get it.
I wonder the outcome of this fair and balanced study by gun grabber wentemute.
Lost all mine in the last annual freeper fishing tournament
