What I really like about this survey is that they actually asked non-gun owners living in a GUN HOUSEHOLD what they thought. Far too many assume that all members in gun household think the same and are in favor of guns.

Apparently, the majority of us side more with the non-owners than our gun owning relatives. Maybe you need to really think about that one.
