A recent Harvard study of the demographics of gun ownership in the United States yielded a fairly shocking discovery, namely the emergence of the Obama gun "Super Owner." The study, entitled "The Stock and Flow of US Firearms: Results from the 2015 National Firearms Survey", was conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health and found that just 14% of all gun owners, or 7.6mm adults and 3% of the total U.S. population, possessed 50% of all guns owned by civilians in the country. Moreover, with a total stock of 270mm civilian-owned guns in the U.S., that implies that these "super owners" possess an average of nearly 18 guns per person.
Gun owning respondents owned an average of 4.85 firearms (range: 1-140); the median gun owner reported owning approximately two guns. As can be seen in Figure 3, approximately half (48%) of gun owners report owning 1 or 2 guns, accounting for 14% of the total US gun stock, while those who own 10 or more guns (8% of all gun owners), own 39% of the gun stock. Put another way, one half of the gun stock (~130 million guns) is owned by approximately 86% of gun owners, while the other half is owned by 14% of gun owners (14% of gun owners equals 7.6 million adults, or 3% of the adult US population).
Another startling discovery in the data, though "oddly" not highlighted in the report, is that the surge in gun ownership per capita seemed to coincide with the start of the Obama presidency and growing rhetoric over new gun regulations.

I have 6.5mm, 7mm, 8mm and 9mm. 270mm would round out my collection.

Who gave Harvard access to this information? Buy a gun, fill out a government firm, so Harvard can see your data, SSN, address etc... ???
You can bet that those charged with his defense. are fully aware that he is Target Number One, and are doing the best job humanly possible protecting him. I'd wager that his ring of protection rivals Obama's.
The man's about to upset the NWO. There's no question that he and his family are at grave risk of assassination.
Notice a correlation? The more money the gummint spends that it does not have the more guns and ammo the folks buy. Hmmmm....
You’re using arithmetic!
No fair!
I built a model of that baby when I was ten. Beautiful machine.
Okay, you caught me... LOL
The biggest correlation is between Obama's anti-gun rhetoric and rising gun sales, but the Hahvahd research team was baffled and shocked that their study data produced that implication.
Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.
Thank you for this math ! I was skimming the FR looking for someone one else to do it before I dusted off the Casio.
I hate math.
I love working with numbers.
They don’t lie.
People use them to, but that’s a misrepresentation and generally based on the idea nobody will work the numbers themselves.
Thanks BTW.
Glad this helped...

And yet they still wonder why.
I reckon you’re about right. Add in all those home built projects, the illegal imports, and the various multiple sales recorded as one NICS transaction and you’re talking a lot of firearms.
III %,
Another reference to Mike V.?
WHOOPS!
Well played! Guns, my FRiend! Guns!
Could be finger placement on the keyboard, too!
There is a reason they care.
They wil come after these 3% with swat and un troops and whatever else to neutralize them first if thy ever attempt to pull something unliveable.
LOL
I haven’t heard that phrase in ages. “I pinky swear”.....lol
LOL
Hands off my buns!
