How can that be, in a nation when Stand your Ground is up?
Only 14 percent of adults under age 35, but 31 percent of those over age 65, say they personally own a gun. That gap has increased over time - in 1980, younger adults were only slightly less likely than older ones to report that they owned a gun.
The poll finds half of Republicans live in households with at least one gun, which is twice as high as ownership among Democrats or independents.
People in higher-income households are significantly more likely than those in lower-income households to own a gun, the survey finds. Gun ownership rates also vary by race, with 4 in 10 white Americans living in households with a gun compared with less than 2 in 10 blacks and Hispanics.
Why do republicans (Higher-income households are significatly more likely than those in lower-income households to own a gun) seem to be more likely to own guns?
So much for the home of the brave. Seems like they are more afraid of the minorities in this country.
