With one in three Americans reporting they personally own a gun, self-reported gun ownership is at its highest level since 1993, according to a Gallup poll released this week.

 

It’s up among Republicans and right-leaners, 55 percent of whom say they have a gun in their home or on their property, and also among Democrats and left-leaners, who lag just 15 percentage points behind.

 

It’s up among men and women. In fact, gun ownership among women has reached another high at 43 percent, according to Gallup.

 

While households in the South and Midwest are the most likely to have a gun, gun ownership has spiked most dramatically in the East since last year, rising from just 23 to 36 percent of households.

 

Gallup notes that the rising numbers could reflect either rising levels of actual gun ownership, or increased willingness to admit to owning a gun. Either way, the findings would reflect a shift in America’s attitudes toward gun ownership since a dip in the 1990s.

Gun control myths are disapearing maybe if it appears on mythbusters NJ will change it's legislation

hahaha,

 

Glad to do my part. =)

 

My whole theory, the best way to fight for gun rights is to have more people shooting. Introduce them into the sport/hobby, and they will learn the crap we deal with every day for themselves.

 

If we are a small group, and fight for it, the way it is painted is a small looney toon group wants to hand out guns to everyone, and have your kids murdered.

 

Same thing with getting people to shoot more than just static paper from a 2 by 2 port. =) more than 25% of the last USPSA match at Old Bridge were NJGF members.

Exactly, and it something we can all do, and I hope like this last match we all had such a good time at is just a start, that and as we get more from here to join in, the more people who have fun, the more all of us will inclined to get other shooters into these other shooting sports.

 

LOL, Reminds me of the end of Alice's Restaurant:

 

. And the only reason I'm singing you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similar

situation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a

situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into

the shrink wherever you are ,just walk in say "Shrink, You can get

anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, if

one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and

they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony,

they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them.

And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in

singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an

organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said

fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and

walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

 

And that's what it is , the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement, and

all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the

guitar.

 

With feeling. So we'll wait for it to come around on the guitar, here and

sing it when it does. Here it comes.
