A new poll published on Thursday found more Americans report having a gun in their home than ever before.
The Wall Street Journal/NBC News survey of 1,200 adults found 48 percent of Americans said they or somebody else in their household owned a gun. That's 3 percentage points higher than when the same question was asked last year. It's 9 percentage points higher than when the question was asked in 2011, the low point of the poll's findings for self-reported gun ownership.
Washington Free Beacon: Poll: More Americans Have a Gun in Home Than Ever Before
That article was published only a few days ago so it goes on and on and on.
Other than a dental abscess, what could possibly bring more joy joy feelings than another bullshit poll about gun ownership. Everything the Rockhouse has seen in quite some time has shown the number of gun owners has been declining but the number of guns each one owns has steadily increased.
Likely you're as fed-up as I with bullshit statistics and we don't need to quote again Mark Twain since you know already there's a mule team full of bullshitters proselytizing for or against gun control and the only clear fact is there is one shitload of guns in America and ownership is on a higher ratio than anywhere else in the world.
The pitch isn't clear this time since maybe it goes that you might as well own a gun since, wtf, everyone else is doing it. This is another situation of frame of reference since we're wondering what the author of the piece intended to accomplish.
Zen Yogi: we have to find its inner self, it's real meaning!
Sure that sounds like Dr Phil but it's still real since WTF was his purpose. Note: I did check the gender before I wrote that.
"Throughout their many failures, gun control advocates have comforted themselves with their belief that gun ownership is falling and that they will be able to achieve their policy goals once the number of gun owners sufficiently dwindles," the gun-rights group's lobbying arm wrote on its website. "Polling data on gun ownership rates is inherently suspect. Gun ownership is a personal decision, and given the politically charged nature of the topic and government efforts to restrict gun rights, some gun owners are reluctant to share this personal information with strangers. This could result in polling that underreports gun ownership. Other research further suggests that female spouses living in gun-owning households tend to underreport firearm ownership.

What motivated copying that windy protestation from the NRA since the only thing we glean from it is they just don't fuckin' know. When they assail other research while praising this piece, it just blows up into a cacophonic assault on the ears.
This is where he leaves it:
"Despite the difficulty in obtaining an accurate measurement of gun ownership, gun control advocates have been quick to boast of any new poll that shows a decline in gun-owning households. It's unlikely they'll exhibit the same response to the WSJ/NBC poll's findings."
The gun-rights group was also critical of news coverage of the poll.
"Of course, you didn't read any headlines of this fact in this week's press, which would have been front page news if the number had gone down," they said.

The final sentence seems to be shared by the author and that's all the inner self we're going to get. He's just another sardine pretending to be a trout and his profile shows that's all he has ever done in a Blogger Made Good story. Making good isn't the same as making money but it's come to be synonymous in a cynical and jaded world.
There's a steadfast defense of the Second Amendment but the problem comes when they take no interest in the others and violate them regularly, particularly the Fourth which gives protection against illegal search and seizure. Only today, cops were crying they need more money because people apparently behave better on the road so they're not getting the income they need. That also cramps them in their hunger for dollars from civil forfeiture and which Jeff Sessions has said he wants to extend. (ACLU: The House Tells Sessions’ Justice Department It Will Not Stand for Civil Asset Forfeiture)
There are almost no controls on what cops do with the money and assets they seize and it's almost impossible for the citizens to get that back. Going on about this feels to me like I'm a dog barking at a thunderstorm but Cadillac Man assures it is heard.
Zen Yogi: it's better than Washington since they bark too but usually when they're chasing cars
High five, Yogi.
Cadillac Man has a marked tendency toward reassuring Ithaka has some value while typically I've been one to downplay it. CM is anything but a Yes Man and he's far more in the relationship than some kind of shill. He's not so believing of that but a great deal of the interest in the historical perspective on things is directly attributable. He seems to think sometimes that I give more to the relationship than he but it's just not true.
Another aspect of his contribution has been the fact he has decided he needs to review all of the Amendments since we otherwise hear almost nothing about them. When CM decides to review something, it's much more than a skim of some summary somewhere. He's a bloodhound that way and this has its own historical perspective since History was his field at uni.
Another name worth mentioning is Henry Shapiro since I knew him as the cool, bearded man across the street who was definitely more than some professorial stiff. Through CM I know of his expertise and I believe I heard of respect from him. From my own frame of reference, he was part of the cool couple across the street and my sisters babysat for his kids countless times.
Note: I don't mock the frame of reference term CM is fond of using since I do share the enthusiasm for the importance of it in terms of understanding they why behind things. That one definitely came from him and I try to use that in just about anything I write.
CM, if you're desperate for something to lose, use it on saying you know. You're killin' me with that one, mate (larfs).
This leads reluctantly to the thought we need to lose Trump by any legal means necessary. I've refrained from previous talk regarding impeachment but he's lost in some world of narcissistic absurdity and his own giant ego makes him steadily more dangerous.
Part of the reason for the restraint on that matter has been the fact his replacement will be a pedantic and unimaginative nitwit in Mike Pence. However, the fact of the way he obtained the Presidency will also make it clear We the People won't put up with this shit anymore.
Should Mike Pence be so moronic as to continue then the same advisory applies. He is more than likely a CIA pushover and that only means war. When the only way to prevent the deaths which will inevitably come under their blighted leadership is to slow them down with impeachment proceedings then do it again and keep doing it until those mutant bastards get the message. We will NOT be party to wanton and unconstrained murder, particularly when the only possible outcome is it will get worse.
