Most gun owners own up to three gunsThe gun numbers: just 3% of American adults own a collective 133m firearms
But America’s gun super-owners, have amassed huge collections. Just 3% of American adults own a collective 133m firearms – half of America’s total gun stock. These owners have collections that range from eight to 140 guns, the 2015 study found. Their average collection: 17 guns each.
Leftist BS. If that were true, most of my friends and family would not own any firearms.

The three percent super gun owners own half the guns in the US
It doesn't change the fact nearly half our population owns guns. But even if they didn't.......the reason you are safe in your home and perhaps on the street is because we do have the right to arm ourselves.
We had a debate in our local blog when they were considering a CCW program in our state. An adversary asked why I wanted the law to pass? I told him for one, my mother lives alone and never drove a car in her life. She's in her early 70's and walks everywhere she goes.
To that he asked that if the law passed, would my mother walk around armed when she goes to the store? I said no she wouldn't, but the criminal doesn't now that. Now they know she's not armed.
If you want to see what a disarmed society would look like, go to a sign store and have a huge sign made that says WE HAVE NO FIREARMS IN THIS HOUSE and hang that on your front porch. Get back to us in a few months (if you're still alive) and let us know how that worked out for you.
That's what a disarmed society would do.
I will gladly hang a sign that says I have no firearms in my house as long as long as you post a sign that says you do have firearms
I have nothing in my house of value to a criminal. A few TVs, some jewelry, appliances, crappy art work
You, on the other hand, have something of value to criminals.......firearms
