"Study" of widespread, bipartisan aversion exists to neighbors owning AR-15s or storing guns insecurely

[2tonic]

The study is obviously completely flawed, on its face.
Are people afraid to live next door to an AR-15, or what they think or have been told is an AR-15?
Since we know that a large majority of the population has no ****ing idea what an AR-15 is, it would suggest the latter.
If we substituted "mini-gun" as the object, there would probably be a more positive response, since the term is less propagandized, and fewer people have a knee-jerk reaction to it ("It sounds cute and tiny and harmless").

But if you know.......you know.

Sounds like we need tax credits for gun safes and traning.

Most if not all of my neighbors are armed.I really don't think they would think it was to far outta line if I parked an Abrams out front.

Study reveals "widespread, bipartisan aversion" to neighbors owning AR-15 rifles

A new study has found that Americans, including traditionally pro-gun groups, are averse to living near AR-15 owners and neighbors who store guns insecurely. This consensus highlights potential local-level agreement on gun safety practices.

You think you hate journalist false academics as much as you should, but your really don't.

I've used Qualtrics Surveying at Purdue, and they'd routinely reject results because it's too easy to cook the question. No one wants to live next to a nationalist socialist jihadist dyed hair they/them with a doctorate from a New England ZIP code who has an AR-15, and it ain't the AR-15's fault.
