Typical case of intentionally skewed statistics! Where the hell is the "All of the above" button? Now the sun will be reporting that "Only 23% of survey responders reported that they have firearms because it is their Constitutional right, while 33% responded that there is no good reason to own a firearm. Only 7% report that they own firearms for target shooting or other recreational purposes".

Target shooting/recreation
16 Votes, or 6.425 %
Constitutional right

It was a toss-up between self defense or constitutional right. I went with the latter.
