Too Perfect: Gun Owners Have More Money and Are Happier Than Non-Gun Owners

It's almost become a law of the universe that any time there's a nugget of liberal "common sense" everybody thinks they know, it turns out to be wrong.

Unemployment for the disabled rose after the American's With Disabilities Act, we had an export surplus during the Great Depression, mandatory bike helmet laws rang in an increase in bicycle-related head injuries,the top 25 most charitable states turned out to ALL be "red" states, etc...(Click here for an exhaustive list)

Now, after Barack Obama let slip what every liberal is thinking about those "bitter", gun owning, churchgoing, know-nothings; that too has met it's factual refutation.

The Wall Street Journal had a precious article yesterday citing the massive data collected by the General Social Survey. As liberal luck would have it gun owners are just as educated as non-gun owners and actually have 32% higher incomes than their un-armed counterparts.

The Journal went on to point out that they're happier as well: "In 2006, 36% of gun owners said they were "very happy," while 9% were "not too happy." Meanwhile, only 30% of people without guns were very happy, and 16% were not too happy."
They suggest that perhaps part of the reason gun owners are happier is because they have a greater sense of self-reliance.

They made a point to stress that gun-owners don't simply care about themselves though. Gun owners were more likely to donate to charity, donate blood, and more likely to strongly agree that they would "endure all things" for the one they loved.

You would think liberals would be demoralized after consistently seeing their preconceptions go up in smoke- oh that's right they are.
