"Oh no Mr. Survey Person, who is just a voice on the phone but has my name and address, I don't own any guns. And I leave my door unlocked and have a big heap of gold in my sofa."

Is that considered "baiting"?

Should I not do that?

Wait ‘till they find out most gun owners own more than one......many WAY more. 😏

When that fateful day arrives, anyone who ever had any type contact with the FBI or any federal agency regarding a backroad check or anything gun related will eventually receive a visit from federal security.

I believe that is correct. I also believe that not only are many people “shy” about admitting to owning guns, the shyness really shines when asked to divulge how many guns do you own. I cannot think of anyone that I know who only owns one.

Several years ago my Primary Care Dr asked me if I had any firearms in the home. I gave him my best Chili Palmer answer - “no. not really”.

It should be mandatory, we’d have a much more polite society.

All I have to say is, if I owned any guns, which I do not, I wouldn't be telling anyone about them.

Are they correlating poll responses with boating accidents?

I know a number of people who are very closed-mouthed about their gun ownership. They will readily talk about guns only after knowing you and knowing that you own guns.

nor can we determine why they falsely denied firearm ownership

Really?! No idea?

Guns? My guns identify as justice wands….so my answer is no.

Well duh. We always knew when they said something ridiculous like “only 35% report being gun owners” that it wasn’t a true representation of what percent actually were gun owners. Only 35% would admit to a complete stranger over the phone that they were gun owners.

I know liberals as well as many conservatives who own guns.
They just don’t tell ANYONE.
I have never owned one of course....

Who does these studies and what is their method?

And what percentage of the people are going to tell a stranger how many guns they have?

It is clear that the racists, MIVs, perverts, pedos, and homos have been purchasing guns in preparation for the oncoming bloodshed...
