Analysis: Fewer U.S. gun owners own more guns - CNN.com

A decreasing number of American gun owners own two-thirds of the nation's guns and as many as one-third of the guns on the planet -- even though they account for less than 1% of the world's population, according to a CNN analysis of gun ownership data.

There's a surprising decline in U.S. households with guns, study finds - The Globe and Mail

The share of U.S. households with guns has declined over the past four decades, a national survey shows, with some of the most surprising drops in the South and the Western mountain states, where guns are deeply embedded in the culture.

The gun ownership rate has fallen across a broad cross section of households since the early 1970s, according to data from the U.S. General Social Survey, a public opinion survey conducted every two years that asks a sample of American adults if they have guns at home, among other questions.

Chart of the Day: Gun Ownership is on a 30-Year Decline | Mother Jones

Paul Waldman, in the final installment of his epic series about guns and the NRA (nickel summary: the gun lobby isn't as influential as you think), provides us with a surprising chart. For the last 30 years, it turns out, gun ownership has dropped steadily. Today, only about 30% of households own a gun. Most of this is due to demographics. Apparently there was a big spurt in gun ownership in the generation born between 1920 and 1960, and then the spurt went away. Cohorts born in later years all own guns at substantially lower levels.

IOW, "gun nutters", are a very real phenomenon. The wacko idea of owning guns so one is able to take over the government or fight off the government is "dead" serious to these folx.

Now, if they would just stay home, caressing their guns and dreaming of insurrection, and let the rest of us go about our lives, that would be fine.

So,what your point?

If lefties didn't have strawman arguments, they'd have nothing to say.

It really is funny... not in a good way... they go for decades without a peep about an issue then... suddenly.... (as if on command)... it becomes a big fucken deal.

It's almost like someone is feeding their thoughts. Nah, couldn't be.

Unlike the 'righties' whose daily mega doses of Faux News create their reality, which they go on to regurgitate ad infinitum. When do the 'righties' start actually thinking for themselves, including not using every opportunity under the sun to name call and try to demean with ridiculous labels?

We could compare the number of links to ThinkProgress, MM, HuffPo and TPM to the number of times this evil FOX is credited....

Lakhota, alone, would break the scale

That's because you/they are too embarrassed to admit to being influenced by them and/or are unconscious of how frequently and overwhelmingly your/their thoughts are influenced by and even formed by the addiction to Faux News. Most likely it's both.

Luddy makes terrible Socialist and Communist. He post chart and need everyone explain to him. (Sigh)

 

[Skull Pilot]

99.99% of gun owners are law abiding citizens so what the fuck do you care how many guns they own?

 

[The Rabbi]

So we're supposed to hate the evil 1%ers that own the wealth AND the 1%ers that own guns.

Got it!

Yet another knee jerker making up a pile of shit.

Can even one nutter manage an intelligent response to these articles?

Doubtful.

Depends on if you trust the results of anonymous people calling people randomly and asking if they have guns at home. I would bet at least a third say no regardless.
Even so, I dont see what the point here is. If 30% of Americans own guns then that is more than 40% 30 years ago because there are more Americans.
Perhaps this is a pathetic attempt at marginalizing gun owners.

This nutty-ass got a new Handy Dandy last week.......and one sweet rifle it is!!! Zombie killer it is too......these 44 Magnum rounds will go clear through a car door and out the other door at 40 yards!!!

Mine is a Rossi.....this is a Marlin but its just a cool vid.

I love the threads posted up by the k00ks that have to do with statistics.......like people who take pictures of their beautiful car from one side but the other side is all bashed apart.. As if Americans are voluntarily about to turn in their last rifle.

When you live in a bubble, there isnt much in life you actually get. The gun grabbers have zero clue how important the first day of hunting season is all over the US. After Christmas, it is THE holiday........while other people sit at their PC for 16 hours that day.

So,what your point?

I've clearly stated my point. TWICE.

If you're still confused you could do one of two things:

1) Think for yyourself and come to your own conclusion or

2) Ask American Communist although he didn't really get it either.

99.99% of gun owners are law abiding citizens so what the fuck do you care how many guns they own?

Where did anyone say they care?

If you read the posts again, you'll find that no one cares even a little bit.

In FACT, what people care about is the piles and piles of dead people. That's it. That's all. Stop killing people and no one will even ask if you have a gun.

Why does everything have to explained to the dumb nutters?

 

[bigrebnc1775]

The title is a blatant lie. All a person has to do is find out how many carry conceal permits are being requested and issued.
For every carry conceal permit means a new gun owner.

Actually, it likely means just the opposite but I'm certainly open to reading

now you are saying we kill people?

Isn't that defamation? I'll sick Jillian on you

In Florida, our guns aren't "registered".
How do you know how many gun-owners there are here?

And you say all those gun permits are "new owners"?

I'm sure you can point that out because I can't find it. What I read in your links that more and more fools are stupidly falling for propaganda instead of relying on facts.

But nothing at all about "every carry conceal permit means a new gun owner".

 

[Luddly Neddite]

For some people, just saying something makes it true.

bigrebnc1775 is one of those people.

 

[whitehall]

Yeah right, left wing Ma Jones is an expert on gun statistics. Who the fuk cares what Jones comes up with?

Damn but you nutters are predictable.

If you had read the articles, you would not have said something THIS dumb. You also would have seen this -

I still don't see even one link that proves this is incorrect.

LOL

To the clueless one carry conceal permit is issued to one person. You don't get more than one per person
