1. If this is required to take the survey, is it only there to weed out the answers you dont want?
2. Firearms are not required to be licensed or even registered. People might be required to be licensed to carry in certain ways, but the firearm isn't. At least in my state.
3. Are you talking about legal ease or logistical ease? I had to call several stores before I found my Mossberg, but as a CCW permit holder it was in-and-out.
4. Are you asking this if I were to become a felon, or if my 2A rights were taken away?
5. People have firearms for many reasons. Some use it for hunting (which is survival, not listed), competition, recreation, work, defense, collectibles, or many other reasons. Some have firearms for multiple reasons and can only select one option.
6. Are you talking about whether the buglar would be able to use them against you, or how long it would take for a burglar to steal them if I'm not home.
7. No comment here, although unless it was stolen I haven't heard much of this ever happening.
8. Anyone who owns one should have discharged it at the range. Are you asking if we discharged it at a person or accidentally discharged?
9. Injuries happen when firearms are discharged in defense, crime, or by LE/soldiers (unless people miss) and in negligent discharges. This is a very broad category that someone who has been shooting at targets for 40 years and used one in self defense once would have to answer.
10. Fair-ish question, except you spelled offense wrong.
11. It should have been if it was an offense.
12. The person would only be convicted of a gun crime if he was comitting crime. Otherwise nobody would have bothered, unless it took place in New York.
13. The only thing that changes whether or not you can get a firearm legally after a crime is time. As such, once the time has passed, it should be no different than before the crime (unless the laws have changed between those two points).
14. Here we really see the bias, as has been said. "poor" and "strict". I say "lenient" and "poor", because I think gun control is more about control, and does nothing to prevent crime.
15. I feel safer from gun violence knowing I have guns. If I didn't have guns, I'd have to defend against gun violence with a pocket knife or my fists.
16. Fair question.
17. Demographic in nature, can't comment.
I see a few questions that outright show bias, a few questions that show ignorance of gun laws and gun culture, and a few questions that had outright errors in them. I will not be participating in the survey (as I previously mentioned) because I do not feel I can accurately answer the questions with the information provided.
