record high. A Gallup poll on Wednesday said 43% of American women reported
a gun in their home or somewhere on their property. That number is up seven
percentage points, from 36% in 2010.
Men were even more likely to say their household has a gun. This year 52% of
men reported a gun in their house or on their property -- also seven points
higher than in 2010, when 45% said so.
The gender gap is more pronounced when people are asked who owns the gun.
Twice as many men as women say they own a gun -- 46% of men, 23% of women.
These results come from Gallup's Oct. 6-9 crime poll, which also found that
public support for Americans' right to bear arms has hit an all-time high.
When asked whether there should be a law banning possession of handguns,
nearly three-quarters said they opposed such a law. A little more than a
quarter supported such a law.
It's unclear, however, whether more households actually have guns. Perhaps
more people feel comfortable admitting that they do.
Some other interesting details from the report:
47% of Americans report they have a gun in their home or elsewhere on their
property. That's the highest number Gallup has recorded since 1993, when 54%
said so.
55% of Republicans admit having a gun on their property, compared with 40%
of Democrats. But that gap is shrinking. Last year, 52% of Republicans said
they had a gun on the property, compared with 32% of Democrats.
Education level plays a role in whether someone owns a gun. According to
Gallup, 29% of college graduates say they personally own a gun, compared
with 40% of those without a college degree. | c**********d
