Poll: Nearly Half Of Americans Have A Gun In Their House
A record amount.
A new poll shows that nearly half of Americans or someone in their household owns a gun, which would be a record number.
The survey, conducted by NBC News/Wall Street Journal, asked respondents if they or anyone in their household owned a gun. Forty-eight percent said yes, 50% said no, and an additional 2% were unsure.
Stephen Gutowski of The Washington Free Beacon noted that the 48% figure was 3% higher from the previous year, the highest ever recorded by an NBC News/Wall Street Journal.
The poll is likely understating the number of households with guns, as Gutowski highlighted the National Rifle Association's (NRA) website stating that untold numbers of Americans choose to keep their gun ownership private and are reluctant to say they own a gun when they are polled.
