I vaguely remember some reference to 90million(?) gun owners in posession of 300million(?) guns

The number of guns in the civilian U.S. population has been increasing steadily for decades, and yet the number of fatal gun accidents has been>>>>>> falling for as long as statistics have been compiled (since 1903). <<<<<<<<<<<<<>> government figures,<<<< at least 45 percent to 50 percent of U.S. households have firearms in the home. And yet the latest U.S. statistics show that the rates of serious crimes, including homicides with firearms and aggravated assaults, have fallen to record 25-year lows – despite the fact that the number of guns in the hands of Americans have exceeded the 200 million mark, nearly 1 million firearms per million Americans
