The greatest threat to the American people is the U.S. government.

Looking at the actual study, the link between gun purchases and government fear is a correlation, not causal comparative. The people who fear government don’t necessarily buy a gun because they fear government.
I fall into that category. The fear of government falls into 4 categories:
Government use of drones within the U.S.
The Affordable Health Care Act, also called Obamacare
Corrupt Government Officials
Government restrictions on firearms and ammunition
This is actually fear of specific aspects of government. I don’t see anywhere that the survey makes the direct connection of buying a gun because of fear of the government.
I bought my first pistol because of a contract murder about a mile down the country road I live on. I wanted to make sure I have a fighting chance if some whacko kill turns into the wrong driveway. My secondary reason was fear of wild animals that might jump out of the woods when I take my long walks and bike rides.
