Some pretty interesting stuff in here, IMO.

I wonder how accurate that is. There were some questions which I doubt many gun owners would answer correctly.

I thought this was interesting:

The average gun owner owns 5 firearms, and handguns are the most common type of firearm owned. 48.0% of gun owners have owned magazines that hold over 10 rounds, and 30.2% of gun owners -- totaling about 24.6 million individuals -- have owned an AR-15 or similarly styled rifle. Demographically, gun owners are diverse. 42.2% are female and 57.8% are male. Approximately 25.4% of Blacks own firearms, 28.3% of Hispanics own firearms, 19.4% of Asians own firearms, and 34.3% of Whites own firearms.

If O'Rourke and Swalwell want to round up regular-capacity mags and "assault weapons," they better get some big trucks and a lot of friends, because there are a lot of them out there. 48% of 81.4 million gun owners is 39 million people with "assault clips." Also, I am guessing that those who own such evil implements may own more than one or two.

O'Rourke and Swalwell the crazy Odd Couple!!!
