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.

I did check, and found self-justification for the customers to
continue paying for surveys.
And who are the "customers" who are paying for, say, Pew Research or
the GSS?
Are you an Alex Jones fan, or do you cook up your own conspiracies?

Someone has to pay the bill, often a political committee. I ask and
sometimes they slip up and tell me.

"But political candidates tend not to rely on the publicly-reported
poll results we read in our daily papers. Rather, the pollsters with
the most impact on American politics are the myriad for-hire
consultants and firms who sell their services to individual
candidates. Many of these firms are partisan."
This is New Hampshire where the candidates actually attempt to
convince and listen to us personally, in small live gatherings.
