A new study has shown that ½ of all guns in America are owned by just 3% of the population.
Let’s run the math: (rounding a bit) There are about 320 million people in America. There are something north of 300 million guns in America.
3% of 320 million people is 9.6 million people.
½ of 300 million guns is 150 million guns.
That means that each of the serious gun fondlers has an average of 15⅝ guns per member of the ammosexual community.
Actually, I rounded. The article is a bit more dire:
More specifically, the survey showed that the 3 percent owned 133 million guns. Each of these 7.7 million “super-owners” possess between 8 and 140 firearms for an average of 17 guns per person. For some context, most of America’s estimated 55 million gun owners own, on average, three guns and nearly half have one or two, according to the survey.
17 guns per person isn’t just someone who has a lot of guns, this is a deranged nut with a firearms fetish.
