					<description><![CDATA[I have read too many BS polls about how many people want to ban handguns.  Yet, when actually given the chance to do so, in very left Massachusetts, this was the result!  It tells you just how wrong polling usually is.

					<description><![CDATA[The only possible way that I can see the firearm ownership rate staying fairly steady involves two simple factors:
1)  Our nation&#039;s &quot;traditional&quot; population is shrinking.*
2)  Our nation&#039;s Far-Left educational indoctrination system really hit its stride in the early 2000s and has convinced many up-and-coming young people to NOT own firearms.

Hence, if our nation&#039;s traditional population is declining and the latest batch of young people are less inclined to own firearms, the ownership rate could be steady &lt;i&gt;or possibly even declining&lt;/i&gt;.

Or look at it this way.  Our nation&#039;s population bubble of Baby Boomers are rapidly dying off.  Do we really think that the youngest generations replacing them have the same somewhat positive mindset on firearm ownership?  I don&#039;t.

*  I use the term &quot;traditional&quot; population to refer to legal resident aliens and citizens who have been in our nation for decades--and I exclude illegal aliens as well as newly minted legal migrants who overwhelming avoid firearm ownership early-on for various reasons.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[They&#039;re also still talking about 10 million illegals in the country which was a lie a decade ago. A realistic Yale study put the number at 20-30 million over six years ago. We&#039;re easily looking at well over 30 million, and possibly over 40 million, after the Puppet allowed 10 million to cross over. Yet this year, Chuck Schumer mentioned 10-11 million total in the country. They&#039;re intentionally lying of course. That&#039;s all they do. Very few people would support them if they knew the truth.

Remember every time they talk about a gun &quot;buy back&quot; those same people say deporting illegal immigrants is impossible, as they continue to invite them in.]]></description>
