I have serious doubts about this survey.

What is in decline is poll participants responding truthfully, if at all.

When the question of whether or not the respondent has a gun in the home is asked, is “NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS” marked down as a YES, NO, or N/A?

Such baloney. But, what do you expect? Look at the source of the article. Portland Press....nuff said.

Yes in a convent in some small Austrian village, maybe; but if you are trying to say this about American get lost and wait until school opens so you can try to convince kindergarten kids.

Like anyone with a micron of intelligence would tell a random stranger (polling co.) that they own a firearm....

It certainly is inconsistent with data on firearms sales and requests for background checks. Is it possible that the respondents *lied* to the pollsters?

This statistic advances the narrative that the gun controllers are winning, so it will not be examined closely.

So gun ownership went from 46% in 2012 to 36% today?
Sorry, but that's B.S. The poll was wrong in 2012, or is wrong today or both, but there is no way there is that dramatic a shift in four years.
To: Haiku Guy
In other news, boating accidents up 30%.

The poll is invalid.
If someone called me for a poll, my answer would be “Nunyas”.
I doubt I am the only person.
To: Haiku Guy
Fear of what the government is doing could definitely skew this kind of poll.

No true patriot (or anybody with any sense at all) will reveal his assets to a damned bunch of liberal dip-doo-doos.
I wouldn't tell the truth about my gun ownership to my WIFE, much less some stupid pollsters.

The percent of American households who say they own guns is at a near-40 year low There. Fixed it.

Even worse, the article is from WAPO.
Of course, the PPH is thrilled to print it to amplify the message.

In other news, boating accidents have seen a sharp increase.

Hmmm. Maybe individuals becoming first time owners is down. But I find that hard to believe since, apparently, there are 52,000 guns sold daily since the lyin’ king’s immaculation. I may or may not have picked up a couple of new ones during that time period but not that dang many.
