Nearly half of Americans say they have a gun in their household, the highest percentage since 1993, according to a new Gallup poll.

Forty-seven percent of Americans say they have a gun on their property. Gun ownership is up among Republicans as well as Democrats, though only 40 percent of Democrats say their home has a gun, compared to 55 percent of Republicans. Support for personal gun-ownership rights is also at a high.

(The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus four points.)

Reported gun ownership dropped sharply in the early 1990s and remained in the low 40s until today. Gallup says it's hard to know whether fewer people actually owned guns over that period or if they felt uncomfortable saying they did due to lower public support for gun ownership.

I won't be a victim, what about you. My wife can shoot an AK47 good.

Actually anyone can be a victim, a gun available at the right time diminished that likelihood.

If Alla shoots at you from 100 yards she will hit you in the pupil of your eye.

I've witnessed my wife make hits on man-sized targets at 300 yards.
