I understand that you guys want it to be a secret, but choosing not to know is choosing not to understand the micro or macro levels of the related issues at all. You can't understand the issue without a comprehensive study of the demographics and motivations. You are replacing research with anecdotes about the people you know. You should be smarter than thinking that approach will produce an accurate big picture understanding. I'm not making a suggestion for action, just pointing out the flawed perspective.
Yes, some of it is anecdotal, but as someone that has owned guns, and been in the gun industry as an 01 FFL dealer for thirty years, I have seen it over many, many examples. Responsible gun owners, and the vast majority are, do not advertise they have guns to strangers. It is a private issue, and they also know they can be targeted by criminals who want guns. The fact you own guns, or how many you have is not something you reveal to an anonymous pollster.
