Half the firearms in the U.S. are owned by 3% of gun owners, and that means trouble for the NRA

Half the guns in the U.S. are owned by 3% of gun owners. So says a revelatory new study on the demographics of gun ownership by Harvard Public Health researchers. These “superowners,” as some have dubbed them, own on average 17 guns apiece. The study also points out that the share of Americans who own a gun has fallen from 25% to 22% in the last 20 years, even as the population as a whole has grown and gun sales have boomed. Clearly a lot of the same people keep buying the guns.

There's just no way this could be accurate as there's just no way most would give a voice on the phone info on if or how many firearms they own. I know at least 4 folks that got their first gun this year - the conclusion may match their data, but no way the data is true.

I'm seeing the shooting sports growing, lots of new gun owners showing up. And reports of stolen firearms have rocketed in Australia, imagine that.

I hope they keep peddling that garbage. One day they may find out what 3% really means.
