By a margin of 51 to 29, Americans believe having a gun in the house makes the house safer

[sailingaway]

When the question was asked to those with guns in their houses, the affirmative response jumped to 75.
The percentage of Republicans who believe a gun makes the house safer was 71, while among Democrats the percentage was 34.
Moreover, the poll found that those who believe a gun in the house makes the house safer "prioritize gun rights over new gun control laws by [a] 2 to 1 [margin]."

These responses represent a complete reversal from the same poll taken in 2000, in which people responded 35 to 51--giving the edge to the position that a gun in the house made the house less safe.

Incoming liberal argument.

"But you might accidentally shoot your neighbor protecting yourself in your home, so we must ban guns."
