In a recent survey, Gallup discovered that 46% of Americans, nearly half the country, have a gun in their home, and 33% said that they “personally” own a gun.
In the survey of 1,009 adults, aged 18 and older, Gallup asked, “Do you have a gun in your home?”
In response, 46% said they have a “gun in home or elsewhere on property,” and 33% said they “personally own a gun.”
“Personal gun ownership has averaged 30% since 2005, when it was first measured,” reported Gallup. “Household gun ownership was higher in the early 1990s than it is now, but since 1996, 43% of U.S. adults on average have said there is a gun in their household.” […]
On the political side, 66% of Republicans live in a home with a gun, 42% of independents said the same, and 31% of Democrats. …

Democrats probably lie, too, since someone in the house is inevitably a felon so they can’t have one.
Oh, liberals definitely lie.
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.
I don’t have a rifle, but I do have a gun!
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....
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 see we’re all of one opinion here ...
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.
No kidding. Duh, yeah....I got me a buncha guns...yesiree! Wanna knows how much ammo I got?
HUH? You mean you don’t respond truthfully to polls? 😂😂😂👍
In this age, that’s not a question a lot of people would be willing to answer truthfully.
I would not tell anonymous caller/pollster I have guns.
I would lie to this pollster.
That said, having multiple firearms in two different houses in two states would drive them insane with paranoia.
Guns. Don’t leave home without them. 😉
