News of a survey on gun ownership in America conducted by Harvard and Northeastern universities is being touted by several Leftmedia outlets for information that indicates the percentage of overall gun ownership to be smaller than what has often been assumed. The number that has gun-control enthusiasts most excited is the estimate that only 3% of Americans own half of guns in the U.S. The implication is that gun ownership is only prevalent among a tiny minority, thus making gun control more palatable. Trouble is this survey will not be officially released until fall of 2017. Evidently, Americans will just have to trust the media’s word on this. |

I wonder if this question was asked in those locations where it's almost impossible to legally possess a firearm.
"If you could, and if a firing range was available in your area, would you purchase a firearm for self-defense or other lawful purpose?" |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
