Previous Gun Ownership Polls Appear To Be Wrong....Who Would Have Guessed That

[Blacksmith101]

It appears that they are getting wise to gun owners lying to nosey pollsters. According to a story in the Washington Examiner July 30th a study from Rutgers University's New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center showed a lot of gun owners were "likely fibbing" about not owning guns. Who would have guessed that "......the study’s conclusion that nearly a third of those polled might be lying when they deny having a firearm." The article contains a link to an extensive discussion (1:07:24 long; first 34:30 is Tuccille) podcast "Reason Magazine's JD Tuccille on Why Americans Don't Tell Pollsters They Own Guns".

Boom: Up to 60% of Americans could own guns, twice estimate​

A surge in “quiet gun owners,” much like the so-called “silent majority” in political circles, is leading firearms analysts to believe that far more Americans own weapons than the accepted 30% cited in polls.
