Mine are all in a leaky rowboat.
He’s hoarding dogs. He has a cache of dogs.
That many dogs qualifies his residence as a compound!
LOL
I had a good laugh at Tucker interviewing a guy that thinks musket reloaders should be banned. Hilarious.
“I don’t have the bathrooms covered. I am vulnerable in the throne room.”
That number is too high. Haven’t a few million guns had boating accidents?
3%?
I’d say 80% of my neighbors are armed. So most of that 3% must be in the south.
TURNERS Holiday catalogue!!!
Yippee!
Been saving my Duckettes.
40? Pikers...
17 ???
If You Know How many...
It ain’t enough!
This is a transparent attempt by the Leftist Guardian to minimize the number of people in this country who would be impacted by gun control. The article is either outright fraudulent, or misleading in many regards.
First, there are very credible and well-documented articles out there showing that there are over 400 million firearms in civilian hands in this country, and that number is growing by approximately 15 million per year. The Guardian should add approximately 50% to its figures to come close to approximating the truth.
Similarly, the sampling technique that was used to determine the number of gun owners in the American population is highly suspect. While some gun owners are very open with others about the fact that they own guns, and how many, quite a number are exactly the opposite. Those closed-mouth gun owners are simply not going to show up on this survey, thereby guaranteeing an understatement of the percentage of the American populace that owns firearms.
With regard to the criminal statistics cited, there is a very good reason why the Guardian never reported the crime rate in those localities where some of these so-called super collectors live. I can virtually guarantee that the crime rates in those areas are virtually non-existent. Along the same lines, the guardian never reports that those jurisdictions which virtually prohibit Firearms ownership, and in which there is exceptionally low Firearms ownership, are the very areas that suffer the highest violent crime rates. And, yes, these are the poorest areas for the most part. When you combine bad economics and gun control, it is easy to see the virtually perfect correlation between those factors and Democrats running those jurisdictions.
This is just another in a long line of anti-gun propaganda masquerading as news or a serious study, all with the goal of convincing Americans to give up their firearms. I have news for the Guardian: Americans revolted against your nation’s rule over us, and that revolt started when British general Gage attempted two seize the militia armories in Lexington and Concord. The very clear lesson here is that we don’t listen to British people regarding firearms policy in this country. In your own vernacular, piss off!
Ahhh Haa!
Collections you say?
Oh, good grief. This stat is similar for all sorts of collectibles. Stamps, fishing reels, old beer cans, knives...
I do question the numbers, though. I know a very broad spectrum of people, and almost all of them own at least one and more often 2 or more bona-fide firearms. But, I’ll bet 1/3 would not publicly say so.
I bought a Ruger Single Six from Turners in 1984.
Why does anyone have multiple homes? Cars? anything?
You cane only use one at once.
Why does it bother folks?
Wherw can I get a TRUMP .45?
LIES. Nobody knows what we have. Come and try to take them, Communists.
I’m humiliated. I only have two dogs, albeit large ones of notably ferocious breeds. The smaller, at only 90 lb., is half American Staffordshire Terrier (aka Pit Bull). The other is a 120 lb. Great Dane, another horribly ferocious breed. Along with the guns, I should have at least a min-compound.
Quick! Call the reeducation camp and have them send the gas van.
A lefty was spewing quite a few other canards on NPR today. For one, he said that deaths from firearms outnumbered drug overdose deaths, or something like that.
The lefties are lying more than ever.
That needs to be hats and t-shirts.
