"Patrick said the origin of gun culture in the U.S. dates back to the 1970s when the National Rifle Association's messaging began equating gun ownership with freedom."
Um.... I was taught not to say anything if I couldn't say something nice.

Great news to start my weekend with.
Hmmm.... I'm in the mood to bump up that statistic.....

Did so an hour ago...
...and yet people from all over the world can't wait to get to America. Are they suicidal? [Sarcasm2]
What's that little blue area to the right of Mexico and Canada? Are those for countries that identify as North American, but aren't actually in its 3 nations?
Is there a single person who didn't already know this?

Is there a single person who didn't already know this?No worries, I was thinking the same thing.
'You're seeing the households that do have guns are stockpiling,' said Andrew Patrick, a spokesman for The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. 'It's an extreme gun culture.'
No you fucking potato, it's the logical and predictable response to gun control. Who did that?
And we have no way of knowing how many people have guns in the US. So many of us would never answer "yes" in a Pew poll! [LOL]
Patrick said the origin of gun culture in the U.S. dates back to the 1970s when the National Rifle Association's messaging began equating gun ownership with freedom.
Give or take 200 years. Or so.

Funny between myself any my two neighbors we own may firearms and standard capacity magazines. According to progressive statistics our neighborhood should be a kill zone with many mass shootings. Funny how their logic just never matches any meaningful facts.
Many of those areas without any meaningful gun ownership are sill no go zones for anyone proving true those in power will get/stay there by controlling the limited firearms available. No way to voice opposition those in charge have all the guns. Funny how that was true in the past and still is now.
I would like to point out that 1.2 guns per person is 1.8 guns short of the required 3 guns for a 3 gun match. Shameful.

This makes me laugh. A lot, for some reason...

Kind of like when the news reports in an excited fashion that someone had "thousands of rounds of ammunition" in their "stockpile" or "arsenal". So....a couple of bricks of .22LR. That's a good start, so what's the big deal?

"Arsenal."
An old Mosin, a Hi Point, a Mossberg pump, and "thousands of rounds."

Compare and contrast this video to today's gun safety narrative. Brought back good memories of the civilian marksmanship program.

And by the way, for the "gun safety" blather we hear so often; the right to bear arms number one reason for me goes beyond self-defense, hunting, recreational shooting, gun collecting or my usage in the military, although important.
It is called common defense as a militiamen and to curtail and stand ready to confront a "tyrannical government" and foreign adversaries. The oath of office did not cease upon my retirement. It stands until my last breath.[emoji631]

Whoever compiled statistic s has no way to know 30% of households have a gun. I believe it to be a much higher percentage.

That is the meaning of the second amendment as I read it.

Yup!!!
There is way they can test that statistic though... ;)
As an aside, there is a lot of news coming from UK and Australia about illegal gun "factories." Usually what we would call "hillbilly innovation." This plus smuggling = their governments have no idea how many guns are in those countries.
I started a thread about our local drug bust that uncovered 10 80% built guns.
People who claim to be in the know about guns are the most clueless. Except me. .40SW > 9MM. (this is a joke)
Is anyone else curios about Mexico having more guns than Canada. They might have a TON of those little 17 cals? But still weird.

Cartels pay off both local and foreign military for them. Throw in (IMO) terrorist orgs willing to supply them, in exchange for passage to the U.S.

What statistical analysis did you bring to bear to determine a much higher percentage? I'm not being facetious, I'd like to know the data and reasoning behind your assessment.

What I did is
1. Ask the neighbor to the right of me (a liberal) - no guns
2. Ask the neighbor to the left of me (a conservative who moved from California) - no guns
3. Looked in the safe - yep, a gun
Looks like about 33 1/3% of households have guns.

Scientific AF! Can you convert #2?
Any polling that requires self-reporting of gun ownership, in an environment where 50% of the politicians and 100% of the media are demanding gun bans (that include confiscation/surrender), isn't going to be accurate. Add to that the casual fascism of the Left and how they are trying to doxx people and get them fired, destroy their businesses... Yeah, I'm not telling a stranger anything.
A conservative from California will reflexively answer"No" to that question without giving any hint that they're not being truthful. They've had lots of practice. It's a well honed survival skill.
I think most gun owners, like Trump voters, don't discuss such issues with people they don't know.
I sold all of my guns and now just live vicariously through you guys on the forum.

You should start working on the one from Cali. It took like ten years but my friend from California is now super into guns. Even has an AK and AR. Though he might just be playing it close to the vest.
