Poll methodology is subject to the whim of who is paying for the poll.<br />Another tactic is selecting the demographics, ie: college students, inner city residents, etc. <br />I would not answer questions such as "do I own a gun" and I am sure many of the people polled did not answer honestly.<br />Bob S. has it right, there are a lot of new shooters and gun owners, but the anti rights types would love to show (using polls) that we are in the minority and fading fast.<br />What they don't understand is that even if we were a minority it doesn't make a difference as rights are not subject to vote in a Constitutional Republic thereby avoiding the tyranny of the majority<br />Paul in TexasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-76692595347355081742015-03-11T13:23:22.397-05:002015-03-11T13:23:22.397-05:00I enjoy talking to survey takers, though I would n...I enjoy talking to survey takers, though I would never tell one I own a firearm.<br /><br />Be creative, lie like a Clinton. <br /><br />GerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-51635066226449685072015-03-11T13:03:32.643-05:002015-03-11T13:03:32.643-05:00I react the same way Anonymous does.

In 2008, our membership was approximately 1,850. Today our membership is approximately 2,600. And this is after the huge impact that the Global Economic Crisis took on membership.<br /><br />While many new members were long time gun owners, the number of new owners is outpacing prior owners. <br /><br />Bob S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-45500666677416263692015-03-11T11:05:48.198-05:002015-03-11T11:05:48.198-05:00It goes against all common sense.

How do I know that the survey isn't going to later be used as a "hit list" for some gun-seizing scheme at some point? Paranoid? Maybe. But, given the extensive overreach of the current occupant of the White House, I wouldn't put anything past him. Dirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353273036394049597noreply@blogger.com
