That only works out to about 16 firearms per person for 9420 people, seems fairly reasonable.
I don't know anyone that owns 17 Firearms.
I know a few that have 1 to 5 and the rest
of the Firearms owners I know have 25 + . . .
Here's the original article in The Guardian
I call Bullshit, on myself;
Here's the original article in The Trace
and I got to thinking, I think my oldest daughter
owns exactly 17 guns, for now, her Birthday's coming up.
Whew!!! 31.5 guns per person. I was beginning to think I had a problem Nice to know I'm just your average guy. Guess it's ok to go out and get that Pistol Caliber Carbine I've been thinking about.I worked it out to be about 31.5 guns per owner assuming 319 million people and 300 million guns.
And the best quote of the article:
"Among this group, an estimated 7.7 million Americans make up the country’s “gun super-owners,” who own between eight and 140 guns."
I call BS on 3%. The best way of etermining the number of gun owners is by knowing what percentage of homes have a gun in them... Using the lowest percentage, 31%, then an estimated 35,340,000 homes have a gun in them. If using 3%, that means only 3,420,000 have a gun? I think not.

The best way of etermining the number of gun owners is by knowing what percentage of homes have a gun in them. There are an estimated 114,000,000 homes in the US. Of that number, an estimated number of homes with a gun ranges from 31% to 52%. Using the lowest percentage, 31%, then an estimated 35,340,000 homes have a gun in them. If using 3%, that means only 3,420,000 have a gun? I think not.
Heh.
"The three percent."
(T-shirt group buy??)
About 55 million Americans own guns,
with most owning an average of three each
and nearly half owning just one or two
What are people that own 141 or more guns called?"Among this group, an estimated 7.7 million Americans make up the country’s “gun super-owners,” who own between eight and 140 guns."

Here's the original article in The Guardian
Americans own an estimated 265m guns, more than one gun for every American adult, according to the most definitive portrait of US gun ownership in two decades. But the new survey estimates that 133m of these guns are concentrated in the hands of just 3% of American adults – a group of super-owners who have amassed an average of 17 guns each.

It seems the estimated number of guns in the US is all over the map.
This article says 265m, while most other sources say it's 300m.
However, I've been hearing that 300m number for the last 10 years, and I've also heard that record numbers of guns have been sold every year since the beginning of King Barrys reign, so even that 300m number is likely on the low side.

Although I am damn proud to be called a "Gun Super-Owner" (and a "Super Deplorable" too), the fact is that "study" was funded and done by anti-gunners with a strict agenda. First and foremost, it needed to say that the percentage of people who own guns in the United States is shrinking. That was the whole point. So how do they explain gun sales going through the roof and setting new records just about each and every month during the entire Obama administration? Simple. "Gun Super-Owners"!I will label myself Super Deplorable.
