It says "Other Household Member Owns Gun" to which 13% replied in the affirmative to that question.

So, if one spouse answered the phone and said "no, I don't own a gun, but my husband does", the husband gets listed in the "Other Household Member Owns Gun" category while the wife doesn't get counted in either.

It is indeed simple: 40% of Democratic households have AT LEAST one gun owner, while 60% have no guns. Within that 40% of Dem. gun owners, 28% of the respondents were gun owners, while 13% of the other people living in the respondent's household were gun owners.

How do you get 13% don't own a gun out of that response?

Since when are non-gun-owners who live with a gun owner considered "true gun owners"? DanTex Jan 2013 #33

It's not asking about non-gun owners NickB79 Jan 2013 #39

28% of Dems own a gun. Another 13% don't own a gun, but live with someone who owns a gun. DanTex Jan 2013 #41

A renewed AWB is hanging right around 50% overall NickB79 Jan 2013 #18

The Washington Post poll has AWB 58-39. And hi-cap mags 65-32. DanTex Jan 2013 #23

And the Gallup poll shows the opposite NickB79 Jan 2013 #28

Gallup seems to be the outlier here. DanTex Jan 2013 #31
