Poll: Gun ownership at 20-year high

I wish I could shoot that stupid location pop up.

whatever

Sure, nearly half of Americans say they have a gun, but how many millions more HAVE a gun but don't think it's any of your damned business to know about it?

I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.

The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.
Thomas Jefferson 1743 - 1826

I would rather have a gun and not need it,than need a gun and not have it.

Government should be afraid of their people not the other way around!

Wow, half the country owns guns? I picked the wrong business.

Really? People suddenly realized that not only is the 2nd Amendment a guaranteed right but no one is going to protect you except you yourself?

I own a gun and I hope I never have to use it, but I will if the need does indeed arise.

Apparently, more and more people know what's coming and are getting prepared.

I live in Aurora, Colorado. Not by choice, but because this is where I am stationed in the USMC. I have had two different occasions where I was approached by a hostile individual out in town. Both times, the individuals were armed with blades, and both times I was able to protect myself by drawning my weapon and pointing it at them, telling them to back off. RESPONSIBLE gun ownership is NOT a threat to anyone.

Over a hundred million gun owners didn't kill anybody today.

the best weapon for home defence is a shot gun .I perfer a pistol grip shotgun .they can be purchased for 300-400 dollars . They are more effective to bring on target in close quarters. Very effective for any home invasion.

Look at the decrease in gun violence over that period. I think there is a relationship here.

If you don't want to own a gun, then don't own a gun. But you DO NOT get to tell ME that I can't own a gun. Simple as that. I know that when seconds count, the police are minutes away. My choice is to protect myself and my family. You can do whatever YOU want; I don't care.

Better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it!! Live by it!!
