this info is hardly new or surprising

[Grumpy]

honestly a total NO BRAINER!
for decades we see polls suggesting only about 30% of the civilian population owns firearms,
and that the percentage of people owning firearms is rapidly dropping.
the truth is that more and more people answering "POLLS"
feel it no ones business what they own,or how many they own!
and due to an anti gun media most people that own guns ,
answer questions with..raised eyebrows, rolling eyes and a wink,and silly smile
no not me! don't know anyone who owns a gun!
translation... (its none of your damn business what I own)
or put differently the vast majority LIE about firearm ownership and LIE to pollsters
(its none of your damn business what I own)

I know most of the people I grew up with always owned firearms, most carry concealed daily,
but most answer polls with, a blank stare or .. nope, no one here has one!

It's people like her that should not be allowed to live.

WHY she's simply SARCASTICALLY, pointing out the absurdity
and OBVIOUS FAILINGS of SOCIALISM
SHES WELL AWARE THAT IT CAN'T AND NEVER HAS WORKED
simply because you can't effectively control everything everyone thinks or does,
as SHE stated decades ago, the main failing of socialism,
is that you always eventually run out of OTHER PEOPLES MONEY
POLITICIANS think they can dictate how everything MUST FUNCTION,
and how EVERYONE BUT THEM MUST COMPLY

theres a decades old joke

WHAT GIVES LIBERAL SOCIALISTS NIGHTMARES
that cause's them to awake screaming and shaking in abject fear!
is the idea that
some place,
on this earth
some one,
is doing something!
without being
LICENCED,
regularly INSPECTED
CONSTANTLY TAXED,
CONSTANTLY SUPERVISED,

and constantly monitored
by a well funded government agency
THAT THEY AND THEY ALONE TOTALLY CONTROL!

SOCIALISM and its promises & benefits reminds me of this joke

A politician dies and goes to heaven...​

Long
He is greeted by St. Peter who tells him there is a new system in the afterlife. You can spend one day in heaven and one day in hell, and afterwords you can decide where you want to spend eternity.
The politician say, "ok, let's try this out."
So he spends the day in heaven, praying with the Lord, singing with the choir, and talking with the angels. He's thinking this is alright, not too exciting, but it's gotta be better than hell.
The day ends with a late night prayer and he is greeted by St Peter, who tells the politician he now has to spend one day in Hell.
The man awakes in hell, in what appears to be the Penthouse suite, he is greeted by the Devil himself, dressed in an Armani suit, holding out a glass of champagne for the politician.
The man takes the champagne and is told by the devil that in the lobby there is a full bar, pools full of beautiful women, a restaurant with the finest chef the world has seen, and a casino next door.
The politician is shocked and is thinking, "Wow! This is hell? This is amazing!"
The man ends up bringing two amazing women to his suite and that is how the day finishes.
The politician awakes with St Peter asking him that now he must make the decision of where he wants to spend eternity.
The man says "Heaven is OK, but it's got nothing on Hell, I'm sorry St. Peter, but I think im gonna have to choose Hell."
St.Peter asks the politician if he's sure of his decision, and the man says yes.
The man awakes to screams of pain and torture, in a dark and unimaginably hot place. He is greeted by the Devil, who is weilding a Trident and is laughing maniacally.
The politician says to the Devil, "What's going on? Where's all the beautiful women? Where's my penthouse suite? This isn't what I was showed!"
The Devil replies, "Well you see, yesterday we were campaigning, but today you voted."
