Half of US guns are owned by 3% of the public

[saintmichaeldefendthem]

no I would not be afraid, why should I?

Good to hear

How many guns do you own?

Yes...the fascist gun grabber wants to know how many guns you own......

It's a fair question, a fascist would insert a prob into your brain to get the answer (see efforts to do a similar procedure on a women's body who seek an abortion. Which side of the aisle supports such and intrusion? Answer, Yours).

Are you embarrassed by your fetish and thus don't want to admit you own more than a sane person needs?

How many does a sane person need and who gets to decide that?

Who decides who is sane or insane is not the issue. 2aguy isn't normal, he is obsessed with guns and his rights, no matter how many people suffer from his concern that his right will be infringed. No one person in authority is calling for the 2nd A. to be abolished; sane gun controls do not call for the banishment of the right of a person to own, possess and have in their custody and control a gun or guns on their own property - home or business or to possess a CC permit if vetted by local authorities.

The only thing stopping you Leftists from banning every privately owned gun in America is issue advocacy. The reason the NRA started its ILA branch is in response to you assholes trying to ban guns. That was way back in 1910. You assholes continually validate the need to fight back.

 

[2aguy]

in America, we do know that 30% are die hard liberals and will do whatever the liberal elites tell them to do. So most of them don't own guns, but will rely on the government to save them. Now the rest of the US citizens have a brain and know that if the liberals take away the 2nd amendment and disarm US, then the liberal by the force of the government will do like any other socialist country and this is to get rid of our rights and take over the country. This is why Obama , and all the rest of the retarded liberal elites talk about disarming US, yet the pushback is so intense the liberal back off. But Obama still has 3months left, and has at the UN, announced plans to get the constitution denounced and a Global Unification to replace it. At that time, all liberals will be declared ISIS sympathizers. Watch what you ask for liberals, because your not going to like it when the sleeping giant is awakened, as the Japanese found out.

that's baseless hackery. but thatnks for playing

now continue to bow down to the NRA.

Nobody is bowing to the NRA.

Why do you think he did?

Oh yeah everything on the internet is true

carry on

And even more true is the bazillions of buffoons like you with your endless bs assumptions.

Speaking of the buffoon with endless assumptions.

I respectfully disagree about the NRA. I think there are many on this board who think it is sacrosanct.

No one I know thinks it is sacrosanct. Not one. That is a meme perpetrated by the progressives who wish to destroy any organization that fights for the rights of gun owners. No one in the NRA community wants bad people to get guns. Period. That too is a lie put forth by the propagandists. What the NRA wants to see is the laws already on the books....all 20,000 of them ENFORCED. Try enforcing those already on the books before you pass new ones.

This latest lie about the NRA not wanting terrorists to be disbarred from guns is a contemptible lie. The law specifically looked at those on the terrorist watch list. And lo and behold there are 72 members of the Dept of Homeland Security who are on the watchlist. So were at least two Congressmen. Once on the list it is notoriously difficult to get off of it (thanks to bureaucratic incompetence) so here is a case where the progressives had no problem denying the Constitutional Rights of innocent citizens of this country in the name of a law that would have had no measurable effect on bad guys getting guns anyway.

Face it jillian, the progressives have no problem violating the Constitution. You as an attorney should be concerned about that I would think.

if you don't think that a good number of people on this board think that any regulation of gun ownership violates the constitution despite heller being clear that only a total ban is unconstitutional, then you're not reading the posts here. and if you believe yourself that some whining jerk having to have a background check violates the constitution that is also incorrect.

as for progressives being ok with violating the constitution.... that's silly and deflection. and anyone who intends to vote for the GOP nominee doesn't give a darn abut the constitution. i'll also point out that the right only cares about the 2nd amendment and isn't particularly fond of the 1st, 4th, 5th etc and particularly hates out body of constitutional caselaw which clearly DOES tell you what is constitutional, whether you agree with what the court says or not.

Background checks...violate your 5th amendment right against self incrimination........

The ones attacking all of those Amendments......the 1st, 4th and 5th....are left wing democrats.......conservatives believe in the Bill of Rights and defend all of them.....asswipes like you.....want the government to decide which Rights we deserve...and on what conditions....

It should start in school. Right after learning about safe sex, kids learn about gun safety.

This is my rifle...this is my gun

Followed by marksmanship competitions.

Yeah, it is like a drug user. They first start off with weed, then move up to crack cocaine, then they move on to LSD or Heroin. Why do liberals allow such actions for druggies, but then legal gun owners, scare the shit of them? I would be more worried about the drug user, but maybe drug users like rightwinger, don't want us to have guns, so he can rob us blind for his funding of his drugs. Damn , now I figured why he is hell bent on knowing who has guns and who doesn't.

They start with slingshots and water pistols and then move up to bb guns
Before you know it, they are into .22s and experimenting with shotguns
Then they move up to the hard stuff Glocks and AR-15s

We got to stop them before it's too late

Amusing.

I've trained my grandson in the use of firearms.

He is 10. He is quite capable of handling his firearms.

His 1st 50 cc at 3, with training wheels, His 1st 250 at 7 and is now capable of handling my Harley 883 Sportster.

He is waiting with baited breath to take his first jump.

Sometimes I think you Progressive Marxists are afraid of your own shadows.

To be fair, if my shadow looked like Hellary I would be scared too.

Gun inequality: US study charts rise of hardcore super owners

Americans own an estimated 265m guns, more than one gun for every American adult, according to the most definitive portrait of US gun ownership in two decades. But the new survey estimates that 133m of these guns are concentrated in the hands of just 3% of American adults – a group of super-owners who have amassed an average of 17 guns each.

These are the gun owners who horde guns and ammunition to feel "safe"

. And the problem is? Why don't you complain about stamp collectors?

You claimed that they think the NRA is sacrosanct. Don't change the goal posts. I am one of those who am willing to let some regulation of guns to better the Public Welfare. Most gun owners are. However, the anti gun people don't want a little control. They want it all. You KNOW this. Background checks are fine for the majority of gun owners. What is not OK is a national gun registry which every background check law contains.

It is NOT deflection when we have case after case after case of the progressive leadership stating quite clearly that they wish to curtail the civil Rights of the people of this country. Wassermann schulz famously stated that she would like to see the First Amendment severely curtailed. I don't see how you can interpret Heller as only preventing a total ban. Where exactly do you come up with that? The "Right" whoever they are, DO care about the rest of the Rights enumerated in the COTUS, the progressives lie through their teeth to try and convince the liberals that the "Righties" are knuckle dragging neanderthals and claim they don't.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Yeah an on line survey of people stupid enough to opt in to a junk mail survey mailing list

And you think it's accurate?

Don't know...how many guns do you own?

I own two. I have a buddy who owns like 40

 

[rightwinger]

You know what the dumbest point made in this fake study is.......

Gun inequality: US study charts rise of hardcore super owners

Women’s focus on self-defense is part of a broader trend. Even as the US has grown dramatically safer and gun violence rates have plummeted, handguns have become a greater proportion of the country’s civilian gun stock, suggesting that self-defense is an increasingly important factor in gun ownership.

“The desire to own a gun for protection – there’s a disconnect between that and the decreasing rates of lethal violence in this country. It isn’t a response to actuarial reality,” said Matthew Miller, a Northeastern University and Harvard School of Public Health professor and one of the authors of the study.

This moron says that "acturarial Reality" shows that the violence rate is going down....so that means that owning a gun is based on an unrealistic fear.....right?

So how exactly does one know that they are on the right side of the actuarial reality? How does each woman know that they will not be raped? You know...until it actually...really happens....and then it is too late to buy a gun to stop it.....

this is the brain dead understanding of anti gun researchers....

He doesn't say women should not own guns and acknowledges that more have bought them
It is also no secret that murders and violent crimes have gone down since the 90s

I wouldn't be surprised if the survey was in fact accurate. Especially with all the goofball gun nuts they have around these days.

Even years before everybody went gun crazy I kept a few guns around. A shotgun for bird season. A high powered rifle for big game. A 22 rifle for target shooting, and a hand gun I strapped on while bird hunting.
I guess you could say that every gun I owned back than had a purpose. And that purpose was for hunting. Not killing people.

You don't know shit.

Every gun owner I know is either military, ex military, active police and retired or a civilian with experience and proficiency in the use of their firearms.

Not one is gun crazy. Not one fondles their firearms as professed on this board by the resident morons.

I've stated before that there are those who should not own or be in the vicinity of a firearm.

Who are those and how are they identified - "those who should not own or be in the vicinity of a firearm"?

Many examples.

that's baseless hackery. but thatnks for playing

now continue to bow down to the NRA.

Nobody is bowing to the NRA.

"bowing", maybe not. But members of congress take the money from the NRA and know if they do not oppose gun control that money will go to their opponent.

Seems that there are those who value their rights to keep their firearms.

There are those who lobby to deny those rights.

They get waaaaay more money from anti gun groups. Don't you think it weird that the .01 percent of the one percenters, that you claim to hate, are the ones pushing gun control?

Yes, I do think, and I don't believe you do. First of all, my comment was based on money withheld from members of Congress IF they supported Gun Control Measures, no matter how common sensible they may be; I don't hate .01 percenters, I simply support equal rights for every citizen, thus, I oppose those who toss money into the political arena which is tantamount to a bribe, and believe the Supreme Court's five members who supported CU & McCutcheon v. FEC stuck a sword through the heart of democracy.

[WinterBorn]

While there are an estimated 55 million American gun owners, most own an average of just three firearms, and nearly half own just one or two, according to the survey results.

Then there are America’s gun super-owners – an estimated 7.7 million Americans who own between eight and 140 guns.

And? So there are 7.7 million people who own 8 guns or more. This is important why?

Unless it is to prove that guns are not the problem. If there are 7.7 million "super gun owners", and the gun murder rate is still declining, it must be something else.

Why does it matter?

This latest lie about the NRA not wanting terrorists to be disbarred from guns is a contemptible lie. The law specifically looked at those on the terrorist watch list.

Face it jillian, the progressives have no problem violating the Constitution. You as an attorney should be concerned about that I would think.

Let me introduce you to two who believe the 2nd A. is sacrosanct:
M14 shooter and 2aguy. There are more.

The 2nd Amendment IS sacrosanct. I said the NRA is not. Learn to read.

Learn some manners. I responded to the first sentence of your post ("No one I know thinks it is sacrosanct") if you knew how to write an expository piece you would have used the proper noun in place of "it". Given you are driven by emotion and not reason, I don't expect thorough and honest reporting in your posts.

As to the 2nd being sacrosanct (regarded as too important or valuable to be interfered with) is either a lie or you are too biased to understand that gun laws do exist, and thus "shall not be infringed" is a fantasy.

That said, those obsessed with guns and their ownership may very well believe the 2nd A. is sacrosanct, but that too is a biased opinion outside of the realm of reality.
