Yep. Seems that the gun nuts are buying all the guns they can afford, but the percentage of people who own guns is steadily falling.
One report says the U.S. has just 4% of the world’s population but owns about 40% of civilian-owned firearms globally.

About 40% of Americans say they or someone in their household owns a gun, and 22% of individuals (about 72 million people) report owning a gun, according to surveys from
Pew and
Harvard and Northeastern. This figure has declined over time, down from 51% of gun-owning households in 1978.
