just another bullshit survey.
Statistics on gun ownership across the U.S. are hard to nail down; the ATF's National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record is not all-inclusive, and some guns go unregistered. But "Injury Prevention," a scholarly journal, has released what may be the closest look yet. Their survey, published in 2015, asked a representative sample of 4,000 adults nationwide whether they own firearms. The findings helped the research group estimate gun ownership rates in each state. |

Yeah, I don't put a lot of "stock" in surveys - they can usually reflect what the survey sponsor wants them to.
Frankly, if I had to put a bet down right now, today, I would say that at the very least (Nationwide) gun ownership would be at around 57-59% of the population is armed - with at least one gun and probably 45% is armed with two or more guns. |

I would say somewhere between 30 to 40 percent of people own firearms. |

You mean "liberal" like Chicago? Or Washington DC? Or Philly? Maybe New York? I don't know, but I'd be willing to place a fairly large bet that (in those cities) there are a BOATLOAD of weapons.....but, of course, I "could" be wrong. I'd still bet on the 57% figure though..... ![]() |

My dad is getting older and is close to retirement, i went and had lunch with them for Easter. He said he never shoots anymore and wanted me to pick out a few of his guns to take home with me.
So the Easter bunny left me with a Norinco SKS and a Ruger 10/22 with a walnut stock. Pretty excited. |

Sorry if this has been mentioned but I was unaware. Apparently Remington filed for bankruptcy.

Yep - they have. Shame, but not "unexpected". |

Also gave me about 600 rds of various pre-ban Russian and Chinese 7.62 x 39 ammo and about 400 rds of .22
Is .22 still hard to find? |

Not really, but if I were you (just friendly advice) I would buy as much as I can and keep it on hand. I look for the prices of ALL ammo to rise dramatically in the next couple of months. |
