I think what has changed is people’s willingness to tell a pollster that they have guns in their homes.
People are wising up. You think people are going to announce what they have? To the government, pollsters, or to their media partners in crime?
I'd say that disclosure of concealed carry holders by the NY newspaper taught people a valuable lesson, namely, they ARE out to get you!
no doubt about it... hell, I won’t even tell my neighbors if or how many guns I have. Most of my family doesn’t even have any idea, I sure as hell wouldn’t tell anyone connected to government, pollsters or media in some way.
Yes, I think there is a lot of truth in that.
