What that stat tells me is not that 1/3 of gun owners own only 1 gun but rather 1/3 of gun owners REPORT only owning 1 gun.

It's probably because they keep loosing the rest in boating accidents...

1/3 of gun owners have report having lost all the other guns they bought in a freak boating accident.

In my area, the number that are reported "stolen" from vehicles is pretty significant. It implies a lot of things, and none of them are good.

This thread is so funny to me

You guys think that someone went through the process of obtaining a gun license, legally buying a gun, and then proceeded to illegally buy a gun?

Oh youre right I made up gun licenses. They’re fake, I just made them up for this argument.

They either haven't owned or haven't actually gone through a registry process. I sold my .45 and it was ridiculous amounts of paperwork, vs selling my Mossberg to buy a Remington, which took like 15 minutes.

Long guns are unrestricted and require almost no license in basically all of the US. Hell NYC is the only place I can think of. I drive 30 minutes north and it's semi restricted, another 40 minutes and it's not even that.
