If you want to know, it's pretty easy to tell whether a household has guns, so not sure this is such a big leak. Sure it's incompetence, but big picture, probably doesn't change anything.

  If you want to steal a gun, just wait around outside a gunshop or gun range and tail someone then rob them for the gun: https://www.khou.com/article/news/crime/houston-police-crime-gun-jugging/285-936cf138-f6c7-4708-b417-e47346f06458 https://www.khou.com/article/news/crime/houston-police-crime...

    That's a great way to get shot.

      Read the article, apparently people are getting guns instead of shot.

  Bumper stickers, t-shirts, 2nd-amendment-related flags are probably a good place to start. Campaign signs, etc. Voter registration, political donations, etc. I'm guessing pitbull ownership is also correlated. Souped up trucks. Mailers from firearms-related organizations.

    This comment exposes your pre-conceived notions and is pretty offensive. I would like you to expand on your supposed pitbull ownership correlation as well. You'd be very surprised at the diverse demographics of gun owners.

      Heh, maybe they think pitbull owners need a gun in case the pitbull goes nuts.

      Because a lot of people claim they want a pitbull for home protection purposes, so it makes sense that they'd be more likely than average to have other means of protection as well.

        People do have guard dogs, yes. But guard dogs aren't always pitbulls and pitbulls aren't always used as guard dogs. I'd say most pitbull owners aren't using them as guard dogs. That would be a stereotype. As is stereotyping the actions of pitbull owners.

        If you asked pitbull owners what the benefits of their dog was, I assume most would put something like 'protects my family/house' on their list, or joke around about what would happen if an unlucky intruder chose their house to break into.

        The idea of the dog protecting the family is common amongst all large dog owners, it's not really specific to pitbull owners. Most pitbull owners are just normal dog owners. I think you have this sort of caricature of this junk yard scene that you see in movies/tv. Your assumptions makes leaps of logic, you could just as easily say a family got a large dog instead of getting a gun for protection.

I don't think you are right. Can you list the names, addresses, and phone numbers of the judges in California that have guns? Because without this data, I'm curious how you are going to answer such a question.
