That is a good thing. It really should be 8/10, but it is a good start.

The fact that there are that many owners willing to admit to gun ownership is good, however, I've always questioned the validity of such polls. I know that I wouldn't answer those questions truthfully. How do I know it's really Gallup on the phone? How many others here would give up that information to some random caller on the phone?

How about 10/10?

At least 10-20% of people will be dingbats. Can't be helped.

You are right. Some people just can't be pleased. I had guy once that worked for me that complained when he couldn't work overtime as he said he couldn't afford to live. If I told him I needed him to work overtime he complained he couldn't spend enough time at home. I now call this the <his name here> syndrome.
