Household Ownership Of Guns In US Only 34%?

[Ziggy Stardust]

libs just want us to get rid of our guns so we can't overthrow the coming socialist government.

Yes, this is the point when some stupid liberal

keeps quiet and lets you do the digging. I mean talking.

Where are you getting this 48,000 people from when the OP states 2,000 were interviewed?

You are right. It has been a total of 55,087 since 2010. I misread that to mean each year.

Easily. And 13% is not huge. Phrasing and polling methods can cause much larger deviations than that routinely.

Margin of error is not a representation of how far the poll might be off, it's merely a statistical indicator determined by nr of people polled vs the entire group.

Based on the reaction of the authoritarian far-right in this forum alone, it is quite substantial. They think the gun culture in this country is far greater than it apparently is, and it is the primary basis for them thinking that Obama's quite rational approaches to the problem will be defeated.

It has been a primary point of contention in many of these threads. When I pointed out that individual gun ownership was only 34% based on the Gallup poll, there was a huge backlash. Now, it appears to even be far lower.

so you missreading the link long after the poll was done, actually means the Poll is of questional value and is liberal bias...
or am I misreading something here....

You should go out immediately and buy this mat.

It just means that the Gallup poll and this one have far closer sample sizes than I thought, even though this poll is far more extensive by asking so many questions. And it is frequently done in person instead of over the telephone.
