In its Guide to U.S. Public Opinion on Guns, published after the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, Gallup includes a section on six different polls, which show that Southern, married men are the most likely to own a gun and non-Southern, unmarried women are the least likely to own a gun.
"Men are three times more likely than women to personally own guns," reported Gallup based on an analysis of polls taken between 2007 and 2012. "Gun ownership also varies significantly by region, with Southerners more likely to own guns than those living in other regions of the United States."
"Marriage is also a strong predictor of gun ownership," said the polling firm.

WRONG conclusion. The correct conclusion would be "-- means efforts in Washington to restrict gun ownership WILL FAIL."
How about that?
Wait until someone figures out that we also know how to use them to maximum effect.
That’ll put a knot in their panties!
Bless their hearts.
I ain’t tellin’.
I have never been polled...About anything...
Or does it have something to do with shotgun weddings? -:)
I guess they forgot to poll inner city youts.
“People still answer the phone?”
Ain’t that the truth.
“A stranger calls you on your phone and asks if you own a gun...and your answer is Yes?
If it’s a woman I’d say yes...would you like to see them?
First, how did they do the polling?
Second, who tells a stranger in a poll that they own guns?
Third, do you really think that people in the Rocky Mountains don’t have as many weapons as the South?
Northern states make it harder for anyone to own a gun. Point?
(Gun ownership likely came first, n'est ce pas?)
.
Just because I bought the gun, thus “own it”, doesn’t mean it’s not loaded and on mama’s bed table. A lot of guns are passed down in families too. then of course who thinks I’m going to admit to some pollster if I own a gun these days. BTW, the NRA was founded to assure that black southeners could own a gun.
Southern men have a consciousness that their ancestors attempted to repel an invasion force during the war of Northern Aggression.
Really? My northern state allows 15 year olds to carry concealed with a permission slip signed by Mom or Dad. They can’t buy a firearm, but they can carry one legally. Beat that.
Just like when your friendly neighborhood Doctor asks that same question... (roll eyes)....
Northern states make it harder for anyone to own a gun. Point?
What state is that?
“...do you really think that people in the Rocky Mountains dont have as many weapons as the South?...”
I don’t think they do...First off, there are probably more people in the South...
Secondly, there has been a whole bunch of California liberals move into Rocky Mtn states...
