Percentage of American Homes with Guns

AB makes some good points but I’d think most numbers since the 70’s is based on the manufacturers number of guns they have made for domestic purchase . If they’ve made them for here , they were sold here .

That said has anyone look at how “they” who ever they are comes up with that 360 million number ?
 
The legal ability to own tools and the knowledge to use them has ALWAYS made this a pointless exercise.

Doesn't stop some people from pretending otherwise, though...

Kind of a win/win. It's always been pointless, and now it's about to be worthless.
 
Polls? If some stranger rang you up at home and said they wanted to know how many guns you own, would you even talk to them? Would you give them an honest number, or would you say "None."

Don't forget all the guns that have been lost in terrible boating accidents. I can personally account for many being lost on various waterways. Next year I will try to start being more careful.

Funny you say that . CA has passed a law getting around that , I'd say it was passed because of so many on the internet saying how they lost there guns . In CA you now have to report any lost or stolen firearm/s with in 48hrs or some such time from which time you should have reasonably known it was missing .

Now that sounds like you have a way out with the reasonable aspect but do you ? If it was a boating accident you reasonably should have known what you had with you on the boat at the time . There's that , and then if you do report them missing CA takes them out of your name so now you are no longer the owner of said firearms . That may sound good again but as of 2014 all guns purchased or new to you are required to be registered so getting caught with a firearm that is unregistered and you not even being the lawful owner is going to get you in some trouble .

I feel the guys that keep harping on how they lost there gun on boats are the same ones that shoulder their pistol brace and post photos on the net doing so . Thanks guys pro gun guys are not the only people reading these forums , blogs or watching videos .

I can't tell you how many times I've seen discussions over on calguns over the years where members are talking how to get around a new law . Only to see CA legislature rewrite the law the next year to outlaw those very things being discussed . Is that a direct correlation to causation thing ? Maybe not but....

There is an old, old, military adage, told different ways and attributed to many over the centuries, but it essentially goes like this,...

NEVER correct the enemy when he is making a mistake or doing something stupid


Those mental "children" (no matter their chronological age) who find some way to legally get around a law, and then post about how to do it, are doing the internet equivalent of sticking out their tongues, putting their thumbs in their ears and wiggling their fingers chanting "neener neener" in their joy at putting one over on "the man" and their complete ignorance of how doing so is going to remove whatever "loophole" they are taking advantage of.

The "enemy" is ignorant, not stupid. Or they were ignorant, until those morons educated them.
