A surprising number has been revealed from comparing the ratios of firearms found in over a hundred years of federal government data on firearms production, export, and import to the firearms reported to be owned by gun owners in the William English’s survey done in mid 2026.
The survey paper, released in August of 2026 is the best designed and executed survey to date in an attempt to determine the extent of firearms ownership in the United States. The 2026 Survey has been designed to overcome minor defects in the original survey done in 2021. Questions have been sharpened and clarified. Ownership has been limited to the individual questioned.
First, a national representative sample of 51,398 individuals aged 18 or over was chosen. Then a screening question was used to identify 18,206 individuals as potential gun owners. Then 16,688 individuals were validated as gun owners. In the middle of the survey, a question was used to validate the responses. Only people who read the entire question could answer it correctly. 98.2% of respondents passed the internal checks. Their responses were used to determine the numeric results of the survey.
The 16,688 respondents were found to average 5.2 firearms per owner, or about 87,000 firearms. This is a very large sample. The smallest sample was in Vermont, with 28 respondents. California had 1,549 respondents. Texas had 1,686.
It is reasonable to believe the floor for the number of firearms in the private stock in the United States is 461 million, as stated in the Survey.

So shouldn’t murder be through the roof? According to the anti 2nd folks anyway.....🤔😊👍🇺🇸
Sounds like a hobby to me.
Nobody can stage a successful armed invasion of the US.
They have to do it peacefully through immigration. And used the ballot box to gain control.
Yes!!! Hard to believe those guns are killing more people!
aren’t
The floor is 461 million.
“average 5.2 firearms per owner”
Under achievers. :)
GOOD. I’m a little under average. That reminds me.
Every gun owner should know how to use their weapons with deadly accuracy.

Remember the DSA must take your weapons before they can take control of the gov’t.
Id say Boone County, Arkansas has 100,000,000+ guns ;)
🎶 Let the bodies hit the floor...🎶
/humor break
15 posts and no boating accident jokes???? 🤷♂️
This forum has really gone down hill. SMH
“the DSA must take your weapons before they can take control of the gov’t.”
That used to be the case. We’ve gone soft. I doubt if many as would fight back now. It isn’t the 1700s, or even the 1940s when the Battle Of Athens occurred.
I would never answer any such survey asking about my guns.
I’d tell them my guns were lost in a flood and I no longer own guns.
Well,...now that you mention it.
My ski boat sprung a leak one day while I was on safari.
You see, I was on dry land but my guns...
You know the story.
“See how our gunsmiths make rifles, pistols and fowling pieces using the tools and techniques of their 18th-century predecessors, uniting many skills from forging iron to working wood.”
