47 percenters

WE ARE THE 47%: “A recent Gallup poll found that 47% of American households own a gun, up from 41% just a year ago.”

Let's see:

• 47 percent of American households own a firearm
   
• 47 percent of American adults pay no federal income tax at all.

Coincidence?

That figure of 47 percent paying no federal income tax dates from 2009, btw, and is almost certainly at or even over 50 percent now.
