I'd reckon it's like 80% of all households have guns and that those have about eight each so that's like 2,000,000 x 8. good times

The answer is no . . . BUT the DHS, the FBI, and the NSF will be notified. You can expect your next background check will be negative!?!?!?!?

Watching you from your TVhow do they get that data?

Why the hell would a doctor office be concerned about your firearms? Unless you happened to be at a mental health doctor and said some creepy stuff...If not then how would they even bring that up? Your medical history should be protected unless you are seen as a threat to yourself or others. Kinda creepy and weird that a doc would even bring guns up.
It was part of the general questions they ask when you are at a new doctor. my company changed the insurance program and we all had to go to new doctors. if you google it you will find all sorts of info. I just grabbed a quick link to a foxnews deal on it.

I didnt feel the need to answer it, and i could tell the doctor didnt like having to ask it. That being said im sure no answer falls into the catagorie of a YES check block.
As far as a random stranger asking me? I would denie that to the death of me. there is no reason for anyone other than me and mine to know what i have or dont have. even on forums like this i am often hessitant to post in catagories like "show your guns" i did once and almost immediatly regretted it. then again if your not on a list your not doing somthing right.
Pretty sure I won't be believing the data when it says that Washington and Clackamas Counties are armed at a higher rate than say, oh, Linn, Deschutes, Crook, Harney, etc...
That being said, the Northstar Borough makes sense to be on that list. Surprised the other Alaska Boroughs aren't on that list.

Gun Control, how else?how do they get that data?
how do they get that data?
Guns don't kill people.. neckbeards do! lolThe survey takers have yet to be found.... In Alaska I would not mess with, oh say, 97.5% of the residents there.....
I'm sure you know absolutely zero about the University of Chicago. It was and remains one of the finest, highest-quality institutions of learning on Earth.Might have been good learning institutions in the distant past but today they are money grabbing places of indoctrination. If education was really working our country wouldn't be in such sad shape. Nope, in my opinion higher education has failed us and no way would I believe any study they put out.
Do you mean their data are bogus?Yep definitly
But their data is bogus.

"Statistics are like bikinis, in that what they reveal is interesting, but what they conceal is vital."
The way the article headline is worded, it's not clear to me whether they're talking about the percent of residents that are armed or the percent of households that have a weapon in them. The former is a lot harder number to glean, since ownership may be shared, or the husband and wife might even disagree over whether they're "his" guns or "their" guns.
Household sizes have been falling for many years, and have only recently started to edge back up again since the Crash of 2008. A trend toward smaller households logically equates to a lower percentage that have firearms in them. For example, both my son and my daughter moved out on their own, and neither has a firearm in their house. Now one household has become three, and only 1/3 of those households has a firearm in it. This is the same result found in the University of Chicago General Social Survey, one of the most extensive longitudinal surveys in US history.
That didn't stop some of the more rabid posters on this site from roundly branding one of the best universities in the world as a "liberal hotbed" or whatever, and dismissing the results of a forty-plus-year survey because they didn't like or just didn't understand the results.
I'm not a member of this forum because I like to hear people who say things I agree with and who agree with me; I'm here to learn. How about we maintain a level of interest and involvement that's consistent with that goal, and leave the histrionics to the Brady Bunch?
