[QUOTE="CharlieMurphy, post: 2723410, member: 31193"] I think the more interesting point is they have no idea who has guns in the house and that drives some of them crazy. Any secondary gun sale, except for those being shipped, is not recorded. If we use their 40% number, which they have no way of calculating, then they don't have any idea where almost half the guns go. A parent gives a gun to a their grown children for home defense, not recorded. Someone dies and their guns are passed on, mostly not recorded. There are a million different scenarios where a new gun owner gets a gun that is not recorder anywhere. I suspect that this report, like many of the BS reports and polls we read about, was based on asking either a couple hundred or a couple thousand people. There is no way you can take numbers taken from such a small pool and apply them to the country as a whole. That is why most polls BS anyway, they are just tools for a particular group to push whatever agenda they support. [/QUOTE]
