Who cares? Less than one percent of the population buys 100% of the arugula.

The “more guns in fewer hands” meme is tired & old. Liberals now make out the `fewer hands’ to be old fat white guys assembling large arsenals, and who will hopefully soon die off & leave the field to latte sipping gun hating Millenials.

The skyrocketing numbers of NICS checks puts the lie to that, unless all those checks have just a few dozen surnames, like an Amish community?

Fewer gun owners is actually fewer owners who are willing to answer questions from anonymous pollsters or nosy doctors. Bottom line.

Well, if it’s true, the 3% gun owner figure is more than then the 2% LGBTxxxxx population. Thus, we should be able totally remake society in our image.

Yep! I tell people you can’t paint a house with a toothbrush! Right gun for right purpose. Shotguns come in numerous gauges for a reason. Trap guns not the same rise as hunting guns. Rifles a whole ‘nother thing. And of course a pistol to pack iffin yer a pistol packin’ grandmama.

Smug, self-satisfied Leftist pens another bit of bullsh*t, contributes nothing, explains nothing, obfuscates everything.

Poll taken in 2011 stated that 47% of Americans had a firearm in their residence. Must be a lot of “ loaners” out there.

There’s a diminishing return for someone owning more than others.
........................................................
I don’t see it that way. If I’m going quail hunting, I’m carrying a 20 ga. Ducks, geese, and pheasants, a 16 or a 12. If I’m shooting competition trap, or even just fun and games matches, I’m using a 12 ga.Trap gun. A 22 for plunking, Varmint rifle for varmints, larger for deer or wild boar. and a pistol for personal safety because I’m an old lady with gray hair and like to go where I please when I please with no hassle. If you’re an outdoors lover, Depending on what uses you need a gun for, you will accumulate over a lifetime more than one gun...and then of course you often keep the sentimental ones..........
Gun lovers have something everyone doesn’t have....lots and lots of memorable moments to last a lifetime.

Guns are the male equivalent to ladies shoes. For some occasions only just the right one will do.

That is a good minimum, but responsible Americans should own more than 4 guns.

Long range bolt action rifle(over 400 yards).
Bolt action .22LR rifle
Semi auto .223 or larger rifle.
Semi auto .22LR rifle
Shotgun
Handgun in 9mm or larger
Handgun in .22LR

With a family of eight, all equipped, that is 56 firearms for the family, as a start.

As a charter member of the FR canoe club, I am way behind on restoring the collection I used to have.

I have a question for you gun owners... If some random survey taker called you would you tell them how many guns you own?

Of course I'd tell them: "Nope. No guns in my home."
