Yep......bad news for anti gunners.....more Americans think having a gun makes them safer...thank you democrats for constantly letting violent killers out of jail.....and more people now say they own guns.....probably because more minorities and women are buying and carrying guns...

NBC Poll: Does Gun Ownership Increase Or Decrease Safety? Anti-Gun Activists Won't Like The Results.

nearly 6 in 10 Americans believe that getting guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens increases safety.

"In the poll, 58 percent agree with the statement that gun ownership does more to increase safety by allowing law-abiding citizens to protect themselves," NBC News reports. "By contrast, 38 percent say that gun ownership reduces safety by giving too many people access to firearms, increasing the chances for accidental misuse."

NBC notes that the overall result is a "reversal" of the findings of a 1999 survey that found that 52 percent of respondents believed gun ownership reduced safety. The more positive perspective on gun ownership is partly reflected in gun ownership trends: "47 percent of American adults say they have a firearm in the household, which is up from 44 percent in 1999."

As things get worse the smart ones will arm themselves. Locally we just had a pizza place robbed and an employee kidnapped - across the street from the police station.

and probably 50% will not tell a pollster that they own a gun
