Guns and Gun Owners

I didn't see any responses from guns... o_O

And some of the math isn't adding up.
41% Republican. 16% Democrat and 36% Independent?
That's more than 100%.. :confused:
----------------

Forum Boss: 41 + 16 + 36 = 93 %

Not more than 100%, LESS. Probably because of "other" category.

Fuzzy math in most of those statistics. Average age of male gun owners is 19? In other words, half the gun owners in the U.S. are 19 or younger? (More fake data from Pew Research). I doubt that. 72% of Americans fired a gun? Not in my neighborhood.
Check the "source" on a lot of those stats. Pew Research has been skewing gun ownership research to suit the left wing narrative and is trotted out by all the anti-s when new legislation is proposed.

My 2¢, Pretty dumb trotting out those stats if this person wanted to promote firearm ownership.

I checked the sources of the data collection. Gallup Polling.

All based on 1,000 phone calls of which 70% were cell phones and 30% were land lines. When we poll for our small Community College we use 5,000 for a tri-city population of 80,000 so 1,000 for 98 million is a proper segment for gun owners? Sheesh!:mad:

In the source listed it actually says the average age they became gun owners is 19 and 27 respectively.

which is much more believable, but makes me much more skeptical of their ability to accurately convey information, even disregarding the bias of the resources they are getting it from.

Re-read the thread. Not only did I learn math the old way, I also learned reading comprehension at an early age as well.

Righto, any poll even those done legitimately and fairly only reflect what the respondents are thing at that particular time. Ask any question, then do it again with different emphasis on certain words and you'll get different answers.
