Pew Poll Shows Gun Ownership at 44% of Households

The Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard crunched some the new numbers on gun politics from Pew Research and found that almost half the country has a gun in the home. Pew found that 44 percent of all homes have guns, while 51 percent do not. It bucks the trend of other polls, namely CBS News, which found that the percentage of gun ownership hovered in the mid-30s.

I believe it is actually much higher, people do not want to advertise their guns. Especially where gun laws are too restrictive. Most antiques still shoot even if you do not have the materials or know how to load them.

May I take it that 5% think that Pew polls should get the hell of their land or they will sick the dogs on 'em?

What I worry about the most is how difficult it will be to organize a resistance, everybody thinks it will never happen. If Hilary wins you can bank on it. we will need the proverbial gun behind every blade of grass. not only against the gun grabber but those that will invade if our foreign policy stays on track. Trump has been decidedly cautious about his immigration policy and that could lead to more home protection issues. If they start heading for the border it will be more dangerous than food shortages in the big city. call me paranoid but I have everything to build gun emplacements for defensive positions. I can always hope it does not get that bad, but I am a realist and a conservative. Dark days could be ahead in the very near future. I hope Trump wins but we need real national security and not from the government but because of the government. the smell of bad government will be around for a long time. any government big enough to give you everything is big enough to take everything from you. Until we stand up and put a stop to it. McCain getting elected is one more ace of spades in the deck against Trump. I have been voting against the song bird RINO for 30 years. The first thing that will happen is the destruction of communications, the organizing will be extremely difficult. An EMP would make it almost impossible.

Fuck CBS's poll. Worthless source for news that it is.
