That's only one factor not the entire picture, as stated most burglary victims know the burglar or had some interaction with that criminal before the crime was committed.
It most certainly does, a lot of people, at least those with half a brain will not advise a stranger, say person calling them claiming to be taking a poll, they have firearms in their home. As such those polls will tend to indicate a lower amount of firearm ownership then what actually exists.
No it doesn't. You said most burglary victims know the burglar or had some interaction with that criminal before the crime was committed. Therefore what was said on a survey wouldn't matter as the burglar already knows what he needs to know about the person he is robbing.
Apparently, Pew Research is just a front for a group of sophisticated thieves that conduct telephone surveys in order to target people with things of value.
It's a well known fact burglars are known to go door to door pretending to be salesmen, solicitors, home security consultants and other occupations with the intent to gain entry to a persons home, to do what is commonly known as "casing the target," as such it is possible, no make that more than likely, posing as someone taking a survey is one of those ruses. "Unsolicited visitors may in fact be individuals looking for an opportunity to gain access to your home. Criminals look for every opportunity to get inside your house. It could be someone knocks on your door Saturday morning to offer you Girl Scout cookies, or a fake IRS agent, or fake tree trimmers. Remember, you are under no obligation to open your door to anyone." https://propertyguardmaster.com/10-signs-house-targeted-burglars/ Plus the survey scam can provide direct answers to make a burglars job a lot easier. New cars in the drive, check. Keypad beeped when the door was opened, no, check. No keypad, no alarm, check. Cheap deadbolt with a thumb-turn, check. Owner has firearms, double check. A lot of the same can be had by phone, call up the target and try to sell them an alarm system, if they state they already have one, question answered, if they are interested in getting an estimate question answered, the same applies to firearms.
Please post where I made such a ludicrous statement. If you cannot then cease making up things I never stated.
Hahahaha...wow did you ever move the goalposts. I asked you for proof that burglars call homeowners pretending to be a survey taker. You have offered no such proof. Thanks
"No one is" "no one HAS". Interesting. To me those say two different things. Just because no one has does not mean that no one will.
"Very few homes that are burglarized are not targeted, as such advising a stranger one has firearms in the home is foolish." You walked it to the edge. I pushed it over it.
There are no grounds for anyone to come for your guns. Logistically it would be impossible for the govt to go door to door in a country as big as ours to confiscate guns. Plus, good luck getting the 2nd amendment abolished, which is what would have to happen to even get to the point of thinking about taking all of our guns.
No I did not walk it to the edge, what I posted is factual and a simple Google search by you would have revealed such, because of that you pushed nothing, but you did sling a lot BS in the process.
The fact that no one "HAS" come to my door yet does not mean that no one will ever come to my door. As for whether or not the government will come for my guns... guess we will wait and see. People are always looking to steal things. The reason I don't let people know I have guns is because of that. Will someone wanting to steal my guns call and pretend to be conducting a survey? Probably not but I'm being safe. When I sell something on Craigslist I meet in a neutral and public location to ensure my safety. For that same reason I don't let people know what types of high value things I have in my home.
