More than sixty percent of Americans say having a gun in the home makes them safer, according to a new Gallup report. That number represents a two-fold increase from 2000, when only thirty percent of Americans said they felt a gun improved safety.Rico says he used to, and would now, except the ladyfriend wouldn't like it...
The responses to the poll diverged greatly along political and geographical lines. Republicans were twice as likely as Democrats to say guns made them safer. Nearly seventy percent of people in the South say that guns make their homes safer, compared with just under sixty percent in the West and East.
While a majority of people may believe in keeping a gun for safety reasons, only forty percent actually do. That figure has been fairly consistent over the last decade.
