Sadly, being young and poor, I don’t own many firearms as some of y’all. But I do got a list of what I want and I intende on getting all of em...
You’re probably right that many gun owners aren’t familiar with their guns enough to clean them effectively, but don’t forget that some people have very little time. With two young kids, a part-time job, and a wife that works 70 hours a week, I have very little time to shoot these days. It’s hard enough for me to squeeze in enough time to go shooting every once in a while, let alone clean my guns as often as I should. I’m pretty darn good at cleaning guns (my father and the Marine Corps infantry taught me well), but if it was convenient and not too expensive I’d pay someone else to clean them for me at this point in my life.I was leaving my indoor range the other day, and the range officer was cleaning a few guns. I provokingly said, hey, nice to clean your gun at work. He replied, "Lol, no these are Customer guns." I said what?" He replied, yes, you would be surprise to see how may people cannot clean their own guns". They pay for us to do this. .
That’s a common myth, but it’s not true. The polls were pretty accurate in general, they were just off by a small margin in a few states — in many cases a margin small enough to be within a normal polling margin of error. What was off by a large margin was many pundits’ poor analysis of those polls, leading the public to believe it was far, far, more lopsided than it really was.The polls indicated that Trump didn't stand a chance in the election.
I definitely agree with that one. And I’m guilty of that also, I guess...About the only thing this thread/poll will reveal is that you can poll a bunch of gun owners about the number of individual firearms they own , and the discussion will wander to the ineptitude of shooters who don't know how to clean their own gun.
