“Civilians” don’t own these guns....
CITIZENS own them!

> Their poll is totally suspect. Who would tell Harvard anything about canoe accidents?
Agreed. First thing I thought. I suspect the author fabricated his results to support whatever false hypothesis he wanted to promote. Alinsky Rule # 1 - 1: Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have. Power is derived from 2 main sources money and people.

The “study” had so many flaws that John Lott didn’t even know where to start.

Theyre just trying to build a case that gun owners are too few to worry about at election time. Their methodology was to survey a small number of people and extrapolate the results. I suspect that type of study is unlikely to provide very accurate results due to the widely varying rates of ownership in different areas of the country, and the fact that in some areas with high populations firearms ownership is highly regulated and there may be many firearms owners who will not admit they own firearms.
To: blam
Another startling discovery in the data, though "oddly" not highlighted in the report, is that the surge in gun ownership per capita seemed to coincide with the start of the Obama presidency and growing rhetoric over new gun regulations.
Harvard researchers are baffled, can find no correlation...

Legal gun owners have over 200M guns and 12 trillion rounds of ammo. Seriously people . . . if we were a problem, youd know it.
I have been guilty, in the past, of thinking that a pistol was only for shooting people. But as you point out, if so they sure dont do much of a job of it. The conclusion can only be that that is not their purpose at all. Their purpose is obviously what gun owners say - to convince people considering abusive behavior that it is not safe to act on that idea.

Trump’s going to need extreme protection with the MB in the WH and the administration, HRC and her goons, Soros and the NWO Illuminatists, Obama’s ISIS goons, etc...he better be fully shielded and packing everywhere he goes from now until Nov 8

I believe this has been debunked. They’re mostly counting NFA items like machine guns, short barrel rifles & gun mufflers.

I voted for hillary twice on robo polls this week. Why the hell would anyone let a pollster know about their gun ownership?

There are 322,762,018 people in the United States according to an end-of-year estimate from the U.S. Census Bureau, meaning that we added more than 2.4 million people to the population over the course of the year (2016).
LINK
There are 266,000,000 privately owned guns in the United States.
LINK
Three percent of our populace would be 9,682,860.
Half of the privately owned guns in the U. S. would be 132,500,000 firearms.
If three percent of our populace owned 50% of the privately owned weapons, that could mean that over 9.5 million people would have to own 13.684 weapons each on average.
That seems like a stretch to me.

“Theyre just trying to build a case that gun owners are too few to worry about at election time.”
More guns in fewer hands, yadda yadda yadda.
Based solely upon gun owners refusing to answer pollsters’ questions, “How many guns do you own and do you have suicidal tendencies?”
This is going to bite the Hillary people in the @zz big time in November. They’ll be like Custer, “Where did all these f***ing Indians come from!!?”

I haven’t made multiple purchases on individual NICS background checks, but I will say that I’ve had five or more such background checks in Obama’s second term alone.

Civilians dont own these guns....CITIZENS own them! That's a very important distinction. Thank you for catching it.
