Three-in-ten American adults say they currently own a gun.
That includes women. I know a lot of single women who don't own guns. Like I said, I'm surprised 25% own guns. Must be in red states.
So you are saying a lot of people don't report that they have guns? You think the numbers are wrong? You could be right. That's valid. But why lie to Pew?
1. The demographics of gun ownership
Two-thirds of gun owners say they own more than one gun, including 29% who own five or more guns. About seven-in-ten say they own a handgun or pistol (72%), while 62% own a rifle and 54% own a shotgun. Among those who own a single gun, most (62%) say that gun is a handgun or pistol, while far fewer say they own a rifle (22%) or a shotgun (16%).
The share of American households owning at least one firearm has remained relatively steady since 1972, hovering between 37 percent and 47 percent. In 2023, about 42 percent of U.S. households had at least one gun in their possession.
Don't forget about all the liberals who would never have a gun in their home. Don't forget not all Americans are gun nuts like us. I have multiple guns. Sadly, none of them are designed to help me win the 2nd Revolution. I guess I could be a sniper with my Ruger 450 bushmaster. And 45's are a popular gun with the military. And my small deringer would be undetectable in southern airports because they're too cheap to use those machines. FREEDOM!
