“Yeah, I’m sure that’s really going to go over well; telling Americans that they’re bad parents for exercising their constitutional right to own firearms. If anything, that will drive up sales. The firearm is an integral part of American culture and history. There is no escaping that, neither is the incessant push by liberals to blame the tens of millions (the overwhelming majority) of law-abiding American gun owners for the actions of criminals and insane people. Yet, the anti-gun Left keeps doing it, Americans still buy firearms in record numbers; Obama was a terrific salesman, and the Second Amendment stands strong. “

Gun owners own guns in case they have to revolt against a liberal government.

So a Harvard researcher shows up at your door (calls you, mails you) and asks you how many guns you own...and then a truthful response is expected? Haha.

I found a poll that said 40% of Americans own a gun. I like your poll better. The latest population estimate, for 2016, says there are 325m citizens. 47% of 325m is almost 153m.

I often see the very outdated figure of 80m as the number of American gun owners. 153m is more like it and a conservative figure too since gun owners are apt to lie to pollsters.

NRA executive director Chris Cox said it best:

“The NRA spends millions of dollars each year teaching safe and responsible gun ownership, and Hollywood makes billions promoting and glorifying gun violence. And then the same hypocrites come in and say that we’re to blame for this.”

I wonder how often Frum has blasted hollywood for glorifying and enriching themselves from the imagery of gun violence.

Actually, hollywood enriches itself from all violence if you think about it!

You already know my answer to the turdpacker who wrote the article.

It has the words “Go”, “Efff” and “Yourself” in it.

Besides... he/she/it’s just jealous that my kids could outshoot him when they were 10 years old...

David Frum, a former Bush speechwriter (he coined “axis of evil”) who is described as a “neoconservative” and a Republican.

And yet he’s a top editor at “The Atlantic” and wants to grab Lady Liberty by the (censored). What a lark.

The neocons had their roots in the far left.

On recent heinous crimes, political speech, possible war and extreme difficulties for many individuals in seemingly quiet lives,...

“Peace is only better than war if peace is not hell too. War being hell makes sense” (Walker Percy, _The Second Coming_).

Yes, very conservative. Inner cities are full of people who won't tell anyone that they own firearms. It's a common wisdom in such places. Lived in such a neighborhood long ago.
