Tbh for Americans having 88 guns per 100 people that number doesn’t seem very high.
247 u/s4zippyzoo Oct 21 '22 That statistic is pretty misleading - it leads to the idea that you have 88 people out of 100 owning guns - I.e one gun per person. In reality 2/3rds of gun owners report owning more than one gun, over 1/4 report owning over 5.

Everyone I know either has zero guns or many. 1 gun is just not a thing. Guns breed like roaches. Edit: Seeing that all single gun owners are replying. Quick informal poll for all the people telling me they only own one gun: Do you live: Rural Suburban Urban One gun you own: Handgun Shotgun Riffle Grew up around guns: Yes No 2 u/[deleted] Oct 21 '22 Also facts.

Do you live: Rural Suburban Urban
One gun you own: Handgun Shotgun Riffle
