Ownership by state

[Nitro Express]

Living in the state with the highest percentage of gun ownership... I found one part of that article odd...

"In many parts of the country, these social norms include participation in social activities around gun ownership."

What "social activities" are they referring to..?

Hunting? Not exactly a "social" activity. In most cases, a person sit's solitary in a deer stand waiting for an animal to pass by. You might find a couple of people together in a duck blind... but when you boil it down it's a solitary human with a firearm. It's not a "safe" group activity in any form.

Do they figure folks gather here with drinks and finger-foods sporting handguns and long-rifles..?

I've lived in 5 states and city sizes from a few hundred to over a million in population. I see and encounter no more people with firearms in public here in Arkansas than I have anywhere else.

The days of having the gun rack in the back of your truck cab or the big glass doored gun case in the living room are over. Why? Theft. When I was a kid growing up in Idaho you saw guns all the time. Also with more shootings and paranoid people, most gun owners transport their guns inside of cases. They aren't walking down the street or even in their driveway with a gun. Part of it is not wanting people knowing you have them (again theft) or you don't want to spook people. To show how paranoid people are now the campus police at an Idaho university arrested a student on campus. People called in saying he was walking around with a rifle case. Turns out it was a case full of pool cues. The guy was heading to the student union to play some pool. This is in Idaho, not in some liberal city. So the guns aren't out in the open. They are in concealed holsters. Locked away in safes. Transported in cases and bags that look like they hold a Stratocaster and not a rifle.

From my experience, gun ownership is a lot like guitars... majority of people may have one or a couple but they spend most of the time gathering dust in a closet out of sight. Then there's the rare few people who have to own everything that is popular and have some massive collection they display in their homes but never use the damn things for the most part. Plus there's the vintage collectors... hoarders with purpose...

It's interesting... There's a shooting range about a mile down the road from where I live. During the Obama years it was a busy place on weekends year round. Since then it sits empty and quiet 98% of the time with the exception of a few weeks before deer and/or duck hunting seasons.

Guns, guitars, women and fast cars. Exactly. I know people who have a collection of some very nice firearms. I know people who build nice firearms. I even know a guy who custom engraves firearms. It's art that makes a lot of noise. Just like an electric guitar. Most these people with the fancy candy in the gun safe usually pack a Glock. The Glock is the simple tool that can get the job done if need be.

Gun control and abortion are the eternal political arguments. Been hearing people jaw jack about both my whole life. Arguing about guns and abortion will outlast the government itself.

To this day, the only US President to confiscate firearms from legal adult gun owners was Chimpy W. Cokespoon during his clusterfuck mishandling of Hurricane Katrina. And even after that, the NRA still spreads the "Librul Democrat Gun Grabbers" lie.

True. The NRA is a partisan organization. Funny. They have a sociopathic gun runner as their president now. That Ollie North dude. The Bush family are globalists as are the Clintons and Obamas. All one happy team. The real objective is to destroy nation states and replace them with unions ran by a few people. Consolidation of power. That's why we were outsourced to China and that's why our technology was allowed to be stollen. That's why we opened our government labs to China. Slowly bleed the US dry so it can be consolidated. So both the globalist bribed Democrats and Republicans want to disarm the American people. Got to do that to complete the screw fest. So we get all these mind games and divide and conquer games and silly games.

There are also significant differences across parties, with Republican and Republican-leaning independents more than twice as likely as Democrats and those who lean Democratic to say they own a gun (44% vs. 20%).

There's a lot to go through in this research that's been done here. But I like this percentage pointed out due to the simple fact that it reinforces what we already know: Democrats apparently expect the police to stop the crime in progress.

That's a helluva thing to tell your daughter. Expect the crime, let it happen, and the police will resolve it. And this Saturday were gonna march in the women's rights Parade…

Since when? Another one of your bullshit hippie comments. I'm no god damn Democrat but if you come into my residence uninvited and your intentions are to do harm I'm placing a bullet into your skull way before I ever think to call 911.
Your gun masturbation propaganda is getting old.

And who says you cant being a knife to a gun fight?

Fuck, that looks like a boatload of fun.

My intentions would never be "harmful". Unless you think docking two women ass to ass on their backs on a pontoon boat with seas 3 to 5 feet and a light chop on the water is harmful.

And Indiana Jones says so,

Once again it sounds pretty moderate. It isnt moderate. It's another attempted gun confiscation law.

And way off topic on this, I noticed that the lefts coffers are always empty right up until election time when they're flush with money. Anybody else notice this?

How the fuck would you know what's in the coffers in any given time? In any case, that idiot you love so much is actually driving major corps to donate to the Democrats, no questions asked. Part of that maybe trump picking fights with actual self-made multibillionaires like the Amazon boys...

HTF WIK? I asked Johnny Chung.

Chip, I don't love any idiots. I love bimbos and stupid blondes and women that don't eat buffalo. Any woman with a IQ of over 100 will be an issue for me just based on tit size alone. There is a huge undocumented highly technical study that related tit size and hair color, tit size and height, and tit size and career choice weighted against tit size and IQ. The study found that chicks with tits which could be compared to casaba melons and a cup size greater DD were much more likely to be loose moraled and thus easier to relate to after some rum and coke or jack and diet.

Those 100+ women with their amplified intellect were way smaller in tit size measuring 34C or less and required shoulder pads to complete the 7 year old boy look most Democrats and bisex bohemian males prefer. The males involved can generally be found at a drug store nightly with a short item list required back at home for a pant suit fem that is good conversation and generally leads the male of that tedious and intense relationship. (Check the names listed in order on the checkbook for verification). The broads in this type of relationship are commonly known as high maintenance in the boys locker room.

The source of this hugely highly technical information: Gallery Magazine circa 1978.



I'm thinking a lot of leftist members on this site should go back an do some research. There was even articles about the coming ice age...

Maybe because the people who donate to the left (usually $27 at a time) don't have an endless supply of disposable untaxed cash like Charlie Koch or Sheldon Adelson do?
