Gun ownership rises to 44% of all homes

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/su...rticle/2600319

After a steady decline in gun ownership in recent years, more homes are reporting having a weapon inside, according to a new survey.

Pew Research Center, in a poll on guns released Friday, showed that 44 percent of the country has a gun in the house. Some 51 percent don't.

This is why I'm not worried about having another Hitler coming to power in the US.

Sweet.

Yes, it is good news that so many households have guns but that doesn't mean we won't have abuses that may rival Hitler. What happens when Billary becomes Queen and orders all those "registered" guns confiscated? The goons in blue will turn against the commoners and start knocking on doors to get the guns. If you don't willingly hand them over they come back with all those nice tanks Obama (and Bush) gave them. Think it won't happen?? Wrong! It already happened in New Orleans and Boston. Those were just tests to see if the goons will follow orders. (They will...)

Like everybody was afraid Obama was going to do?

There is very good possibility of her SCOTUS appointees overturning Heller.

That is pretty poor , especially considering some small amount of that 44 percent is nothing more than a handgun . I would feel better if 80 percent or more had a rifle and shotgun for every person in the home at least .

And the remainig 5% are "not sure". LOL

I suspect the real number is close to that.

[alucard13mm]

I would own a gun too.. especially when those black lives matter people get smart and start burning and looting the white suburbs

[oyarde]

I suspect the real number is close to that.

That would make me feel better then .

Your boy Barack tried to do something, but common sense prevailed in many cases.

And I don't follow your gun views, Zip. Do your fellow progressive Jews share your gun views? After all, many armed Jewish people saved themselves from Hitler.

Anyway, who's your vote, Zip? Will you vote Clinton, or are you one of the very liberal people writing in Sanders?

Personally, I would not participate in a survey asking me about my firearms.

Iraq, under Saddam Hussein, was among the countries with the highest civilian gun ownership in the world. Something like #7 if memory serves. High civilian gun ownership doesn't even come close to guaranteeing that a brutal dictator won't seize control and keep it.

Still not worried?

Me, neither.

we took care of that.....now its a great place to live and we pay for all their guns...like welfare

Yep. As I recall the US military's first order of business after beating Hussein's military was to begin disarming the civilian population. Can you smell the freedom?

The fact he is politically thwarted doesn't mean he doesn't want to, or wouldn't if he could. Just a tiny sampling of pro-totalitarian Obama's wonderful defense of freedom on guns (NOT) : http://www.ncsl.org/research/civil-a...proposals.aspx

I also remember reading about it in one of James Bovard's books, but don't remember which one and am not inclined to look. Believe whatever you want. An armed population ONLY acts to deter tyranny if it is combined with the WILL to use those arms if necessary. Don't see a lot of that kind of will among modern Americans.

It is way higher, who would be honest with a stranger over the phone about items with might be banned?

So the fact he tried to ban them via EO did not happen or matter?

So the fact he tried to have the Congress ram through countless bans or limit did not happen or matter?

The fact his judges on the SCOTUS did not vote against Heller happen or matter?

Please go on and show us how out of touch you really are with reality.

[Zippyjuan]

Link to Executive Order trying to ban guns?

Link to laws proposing to ban guns?

Supreme Court ruling on Heller was in 2008- Obama became president in 2009. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distri...mbia_v._Heller

On June 26, 2008, the Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in Heller v. District of Columbia.[3][4] The Supreme Court struck down provisions of the Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975 as unconstitutional, determined that handguns are "arms" for the purposes of the Second Amendment, found that the Regulations Act was an unconstitutional ban, and struck down the portion of the Regulations Act that requires all firearms including rifles and shotguns be kept "unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock". Prior to this decision the Firearms Control Regulation Act of 1975 also restricted residents from owning handguns except for those registered prior to 1975.

Not everyone who has a gun is going to admit it publicly.

Yes, I'm afraid this is the key. As long as the Ahmerikans continue to worship their overlords there can never be real Liberty. I'm hoping that the "movement" started by Kapernick grows and it gets to be comfortable to sit during the flag worship sessions at sport stadiums. I take off my hat and stand but I do not put my hand over my heart and I don't sing along. I actually like the song and wish that the words actually meant something but the meaning of "freedom" was lost on this population before I was born...
