This is a poll to see how many of us own guns, and if not, why not.

I tried to word the options so that they are as mutually exclusive as possible, but if you don't own a gun and think more than one response applies to you, please pick the choice that is your most important reason for not owning.

If you have a totally different reason for not owning a gun, please don't vote and post your reasoning below.

I've not gotten over the heartbreak and
financial loss these past many years. :(

Can't answer the poll because none of the options match my reason.

I don't own a gun because I've never felt a need to, prior to current events.

I am reconsidering this and thinking of purchasing one now, because I am seeing there may be a need for one in the not too distant future.
 
I buy guns because I enjoy the shooting sports. Always have them around. I have never purchased one for personal protection. Have plenty that could perform that function just never felt the need.

I am really not concerned about my family and my safety even with all the craziness going on. This too will pass.

I have three firearms. The oldest being a purchase that I made not long after coming back from the military. And the newest was purchased in late 2015, not long after I left the party.

I would suggest a SIG Sauer P320. It's what I purchased and it's basically a commercial variant of their military M17 model.

A little pricey, but it's a really good gun.

You forgot one option.

I used to own guns but they were lost in a boating accident.
 
I live in the UK and as such don't own a gun.
I don't want or feel the need to own a gun.
While I think guns should be regulated I have no real opinion on standard gun owners in places where guns are allowed.
 
I own a number of firearms. My favorites being a Kimber Custom II (9mm) and a Wilson Combat (.45 ACP).
 
I usually don't comment on gun ownership surveys. Why do you want to know?
