One out of four Americans don't know the country from which we won our independence. In a 2010 Marist poll, only 74 percent said England/Great Britain. 20 percent were unsure and six percent named other countries. And even though I know posting this tired stereotype will draw the hate... wouldn't you be willing to bet a lot of the 26 percent are the ones who love the anti-King George 2nd Amendment and keep an arsenal of guns in the house?

So... much... anger.

I expect the 24% are stupid kids and immigrants..

I bet the 24% know who Tupac is or what Beyonce's new CD is called... Very sad....

I guess I'm not understanding you. Are you drawing a connection between gun ownership and a lack of education?

You do know that to be a good stereotype, it helps if the stereotype is generally true, right?

Re: that quote, only if he's talking about the gun owners that hold their pistols sideways to try and look cool.

They didn't get here by luckily sliding down the right birth canal.

The author of the piece, not the OP, is trying to make the stereotype.

. . . and it comes off as well as when that other idiot said some crap about certain people 'clinging to guns and religion.'

Watching Jay Leno's "Jay walk" segments will show everyone just how frigging stupid the "rank and file" public are these days. Its sad to see...
