Some day I would like to see a study of exactly who is willing to talk


to a phone surveyors. It might shed some light on the accuracy of


these surveys.


I hang up on them as soon as they pop up on my caller ID




Spin, spin spin......




No it is not. Do you answer all those phone pollers? How about the

person wants to know if you have a gun safe, how much your net worth is,

you Social Security number? I just hang up.


"The highest levels of alcohol abuse were reported by gun owners who engaged in dangerous behavior with their weapons. For example, gun owners who also drove or rode in motor vehicles with loaded guns were more than four times as likely to drink and drive as were people who did not own guns. But gun owners who did not travel with loaded guns were still more than twice as likely to drink and drive as were people who did not own guns."

No one would answer questions in a way that would indicate these types of behaviors.

"Do you drink and drive?" "Do you do it with a loaded gun?"

"Yes, absolutely!"

BS.
