This subforum seemed as appropriate as any.

Interesting results for sure

thanks for this article jake!

thoroughly enjoyed it.

still can't believe 57% of homes have no guns.

very interesting poll for sure.

I, too, thank you for the article -- looks like we are trending in the RIGHT direction!! We just need to get more of the younger folk and women involved in our sport.

Exactly!! The sports many of us love were inching closer to nonexistance. We need to keep the momentum going by showing that gun ownership, hunting and shooting in general doesnt just need to be the old white guys club. The more people we can share our passion with in a positive light, the more control we'll have of our 2a rights

Amazing! Used to be that any time the gun grabbers need support, some nut job would shoot a bunch of folks or one famous person.

(That's how Australians lost their right to own most guns.)

Looks like the average American is wising up.

And it's about time.

Maybe they'll figure out economics next.

i think you misread that last little bit. It says only 57% of households that have no guns in them support a ban. It doesn't say 57% have no guns. I'd like to know the % that don't have any though. I'm betting its in the 30-40% range. I honestly don't know anyone who doesn't own at least 1 firearm in their home.

Very few here with no guns but some of the bigger cities like N.Y.C. and Chicago can't unless you're really special (big campaign contributor). I'm sure most of the regular joe's there would own if they could.
