32. ex recto ergo unfriendly icon

icon: Got any evidence, or is this another ex recto claim? The latter, I would say

.. you don't keep up with the rest of the class, since the data has been posted several times the past year by several posters, from both GSS general social surveys & pew.
Do you actually read the posts here & then just retain them for a day or two? forgetfulness I suppose justifies to you your suggestive ad hominem about ex recto which flies back into your own.

my post from feb 2014: General Social Survey (GSS), conducted roughly every two years ... The GSS data show a substantial decline in the shares of both households and individuals with guns. When the GSS first asked about gun ownership in 1973, 49% reported having a gun or revolver in their home or garage. In 2012, 34% said they had a gun in their home or garage. When the survey first asked about personal gun ownership in 1980, 29% said a gun in their home personally belonged to them. This stands at 22% in the 2012 GSS survey. http://www.people-press.org/2013/03/12/section-3-gun-ownership-trends-and-demographics/
... The Pew Research Center has tracked gun ownership since 1993, and our surveys largely confirm the General Social Survey trend. In our Dec 1993 survey, 45% reported having a gun in their household; in early 1994, the GSS found 44% saying they had a gun in their home. A January 2013 Pew Research Center survey found 33% saying they had a gun, rifle or pistol in their home, as did 34% in the 2012 wave of the General Social Survey. . http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1172&pid=138115

Open your eyes people, your 2nd Amendment mythology is blinding you to the truth & wrongly making you attribute falling crime rates to gun manufacturers saturating the market & marketing new ploys & gunnuts eating them up, while gun ownership has been declining for 20 years & is the truer reason for falling crime.
