Of course, take into consideration just how many conservatives would actually engage with Gallup. If any.

Democrats probably lie, too, since someone in the house is inevitably a felon so they can’t have one.

Yeah it’s 66%.

I know how I’d answer a “poll.”

BTW, I said that conservatives would not even talk to Gallup.

40 years ago, I actually sat down with a Gallup poll taker for a full interview. Very interesting experience. Of course I was living in Newport RI, and was registered as a Democrat at the time. ;-)

This is a joke right?
No gun guy is going to talk to a Poll about
his personal guns, ammo, connections et al.
That would be like telling the government about
not paying all your taxes.
Not going to happen.

Household gun ownership was higher in the early 1990s than it is now...

So, people started lying to the pollsters when the AWB was passed?

That’s what I was thinking. I know a LOT of gun owners who would NEVER admit to it in some survey....

Who would tell some stranger on the phone that you have a gun?

Situational awareness people!

More than 25M NICS checks yearly since 2016, and only 33% own a gun?

Let’s translate that into reality. 33% of Americans are dumb enough to talk to random pollsters.

I think it’s just that more people are lying about gun ownership considering the filthy political climate in this country right now, and how it gets progressively worse.

In this age, that’s not a question a lot of people would be willing to answer truthfully.

I would lie to this pollster.

That said, having multiple firearms in two different houses in two states would drive them insane with paranoia.
