Most Americans don't own guns. Most Americans that own a gun own just one. Three percent of Americans own one half of the guns in the country, that's ~250,000,000 guns owned by ~90,000 people.
Interesting if correct. I would say around my parts, it is the opposite however. Most people it is either 0 or multiple. Someone was just in the other day, talking about a relative and a gun buying problem. He doesn't even really shoot them. It's just a collection of fancy shiny things.
