I haven't commented, but do think the way they ran the survey is probably accurate. I believe less households have guns now than before. Many baby boomers or X-generation people had a father that hunted or owned a gun or guns, but they don't. They may also have let the estate guns go to one family member who does hunt or is into guns, out of 3-4 siblings that now have their own households.

Additionally, while gun sales have definitely increased, especially just before and during the Obama administration, I believe those sales were multiples to one household. The people who did not already own a gun or guns more than likely did not go out and purchase one to add to the household count.

So, while I do agree that there probably were those that falsely answered 'No' to the survey, I believe the number of household owning guns has declined.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The number of Americans who live in a household with at least one gun is lower than it's ever been, according to a major American trend survey that finds the decline in gun ownership is paralleled by a reduction in the number of Americans who hunt.
