    I think there's an important question that nobody ever asks about the "in case society breaks down" aspect. I'm curious about the numbers involved in each group

    One group sees the breakdown as a reason for self-defense that wouldn't be necessary in day to day life. The desire to protect yourself and those you care about from dominionists or neonazi psychos, as opposed to feeling unsafe going into Walmart without a gun.

    The other group is the dominionists and neonazi psychos who want to terrorize people when law and order breaks down.

      i mean yeah, during katrina white supremacists were lynching black people left and right. its reasonable to want a gun as a minority for that reason alone

    These polls are so bad. This means a respondent on average chose 3 major reasons... or almost half of the list

    If you put a list of things that could be important to someone, they will likely select most or all of them as important. That doesn't tell you why they really made that decision though

    Edit: math

    A bunch of out of shape 35-60 year old boat salesmen and software developers who think they can run around like Big Boss in MGS 5 with 100 pounds worth of guns, ammo, and plate carriers then snipe a blue haired antifa anarchist who’s trying to steal their catalytic converter

      I'm not a gun guy so this is a serious question: What could you realistically hunt with an AR-15?

      I thought the answer to that was "nothing".
