Can you back this up with anything but your ignorance?

Other data at that site conflicts with slightly more recent data from Gallup:



Gun ownership has risen in risen years, both in total number of guns, and in households.

It seems there are more gund, but owned by fewer people. Those who had three, might now own five.

As others have already noted, ain't this just precious, though? But I cant not comment. What an utterly ridiculous statement! Is there a proper term to describe blatant hatred of men? The point of a Mother AND Father is balance. Regardless of the gender of the child, which is an issue you do not address. You speak only of male children.

As a general ruWhat is with this view that men are just inherently evil and hyperviolent? How blatantly insulting and degrading! If someone were to make a similar comment with the roles reversed, every feminist here would be pouncing like a Mountain Lion, showering every term from chauvinist to Neanderthal like a hard rain.

I don't even know what to phrase here. I am so taken aback by this my brain won't work.

Anecdotally I think this is true. But recent surveys show ownership at the household level is up. I have also seen other data that says more women own guns than before.

I know many people that own guns. Very few own just one.

They are like potatoe chips. You buy one, and you have to buy another one.....

The other survay showed that gun ownerwhip was higher before than now, and maybe that can be explained by the fact that more people used to live in rural areas, where pretty much everyone is a gun owner.

That is rare. Purposes for ownership vary, and type of gun for specific purpose. Hunting, defense, competition, plain old plinking etc, call for different types of guns. Most people who own firearms, use them for recreational purposes, so, in addition to, say, a 38 for decense, they will also have a 22 for cheap practice and bouncing cans.

Some more good reading:
Obama orders CDC gun violence study, study shreds his position

Study: Despite drop in gun crime, 56% think it's worse


It's amazing , more and more people are now legally carrying and there isn't a shoot out in the street everyday , or peope accidently shooting themselves left and right or just plain mass chaos. Don't believe the hype sheeple, a firearm is just a tool.

Maybe it's the gun buyback trend...

Tuition is kinda expensive, and you can sell just so much blood...
