"America has witnessed the proliferation of gun-happy laws in recent years, especially laws making it easy for citizens to carry concealed handguns, and the now widely discussed 'stand your ground' laws. The spread of such legislation would lead you to believe that Americans are fonder of guns than ever before, but in fact fewer citizens own firearms now than in the 1960s. Why have America’s gun laws loosened even as guns themselves decline in popularity?" ...

Submitter's Note: Ooh, swing and a miss! According to the Gallup Poll the peak in the 60's was 1968 with 50% of homes having a gun. Today the number is 45%.
Now according to InfoPlease.com, in 1968 the US population was 200,706,052. If 50% of them lived in a household with a gun (or two, or five or . . .) that's 100,353,026.
According to the Census Bureau in 2010 the population was 308,745,538 and if 45% of them live in a home with guns we get 138,935,492 folks living in a house etc., which gives a 38% increase in the number of "citizens" who "own firearms".

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
Our Founding Fathers were proud that Americans were trusted with arms because they knew that only when people are armed could they truly be thought of as free citizens. And that's where the circle closes. Those who want to deprive you of your right to keep and bear arms are intending to deprive you of your freedom, period. Like the criminals their policies encourage, these elitists know that it is always best to disarm victims before you enslave them. — Charley Reese
