Since when are non-gun-owners who live with a gun owner considered "true gun owners"? DanTex Jan 2013 #33
It's not asking about non-gun owners NickB79 Jan 2013 #39
28% of Dems own a gun. Another 13% don't own a gun, but live with someone who owns a gun. DanTex Jan 2013 #41

A lot of the controversy on DU is due a high amount of NRA troll traffic. DanTex Jan 2013 #12
A renewed AWB is hanging right around 50% overall NickB79 Jan 2013 #18
The Washington Post poll has AWB 58-39. And hi-cap mags 65-32. DanTex Jan 2013 #23
And the Gallup poll shows the opposite NickB79 Jan 2013 #28
Gallup seems to be the outlier here. DanTex Jan 2013 #31
