Prove it - or admit you're posting bull****.

The percentage of Households that will admit to owning guns is 30%.
The rest will merely blow your ass away if you arrive uninvited
through a window.
The only data I have ever seen, which is bull**** anyway for the
reason
you implied (admitting to owning a gun is not the same as owning a
gun), is a 2014 survey, and the percentage then admitted to was 32%.
Given the record gun sales in the three years since that survey was
taken, the percentage has surely risen since then.

I'm still waiting for Hamblin to prove his assertion.

OK, I'm done waiting. Hamblin's silence is an admission that his
assertion is bull****.

It's no secret that the people who go to the trouble of surveying if
households have firearms are marking them for search and confiscation,
since their other attempts at registration have been frustrated. If
they really cared "for the children" they'd be fighting drugs instead
of trying to legalize them.

Who among you would be dumb enough to tell a stranger if you keep gold
in the house and how it's secured?

This has been tested. The people who won't answer the gun question are the people who don't answer surveys. It nearly comes out in the wash, in other words. They never get counted either way.

The current "household" percentages are in the mid-'90s. The individual owner percentages are 22 - 25%. If you want to see the support and the methodology, go look it up. It's one of the easiest areas of research to check.
