That is somewhat misleading, I own many more than 1 firearm per my family member. I have heard that only around 50% if Americans own firearms.

I think I'm down to a dozen or so (not counting antique percussion pistols), but I can share in time of need... (and do have some lead, the bullet molds and plenty of FFG if worst comes to worst - wonder if that Model 1861 Army will still take a full charge....)

It's encouraging that we have so many guns, but remember, quality counts, too. We should imitate the Swiss and issue every citizen a rifle - preferably an assault rifle like the M-14 or FN in 7.62 NATO (.308 Winchester), but semi-autos (M-1, Johnson) or solid bolt actions in .30-06 (since there's so much ammo available) will do in a pinch.

There should be no citizen household in America unarmed!

Bump. One guy who owns 100 guns in a population of a hundred people should not translation into every member of that population having a gun.
