These studies aren't worth spit because everbody knows you don't tell anybody how many guns you have. Or what caliber they may be. Long or short, old-style or semi.

Nothing. Not even here.

And ya’ know something? My guns, and the many guns owned by countless friends, haven’t killed anybody.

Per household? Most folks I know, that’s what’s in the bedroom.

I agree, it’s no ones business how many guns anyone has.

I was very reluctant to buy a gun safe until now. With Trump as prez, I think the probability of a gun grab is now next to not at all. With obama or Hitlery in charge, a gun safe would amount to one stop shopping for govt thugs confiscating guns.

Preliminary online shopping shows most have digital locks. I do not want that for fear they will fail in subzero temps. Gotta keep looking until I find a old fashioned dial type combination lock gun safe.

These guys really are fools.

1. The FBI would have told them that 30% of sales during this administration were to new gun owners. Since previous estimates by the FBI was 80 million, a baseline would be 132 million including private transfers.

2. The estimate for guns in civilian hands is from 400 million to 450 million based on historical data and sales over the last 8 years.

2. The actual trend in the study is that more people lie to pollsters.

If you know how many guns you have, you don’t have enough!

I can literally count on one hand the amount of adults that I know, whether it is friends, family, or work,that profess to NOT owning any firearms. One of those that is on that list has been asking me about how to purchase a handgun and what should she buy.

...8.1 guns per household.

That's the average?

Guess if I want to be "average", I need to get rid of a hell of a lot of guns, huh?

Keep guessing liberals.

True. These numbers and studies are extremely complicated and hard to figure out.

Gun owners I know are keeping unregistered guns of all kinds.

They are also buying ammunition the same way

First, I think the number of guns at 265 million is low, especially based on background checks in the past 8 years, not to mention spikes that took place when Clinton entered office and after 9/11. Secondly, a recent study indicated that gun ownership had increased, and we all know this only covers those that admit to it. My theory is that these researchers understated both gun ownership and the number of guns, resulting in more guns per individual if you accept a constant number of guns. I leave it up to you to determine their intent other than to brand gun owners as crazies. In reality, I would simply say there are more guns and owners than could ever be purged, and I consider that a major strength of America.

Fake news alert!

This crap was written by left-wing media based on a "university" study.

Designed to tell the serfs that most of the guns are in the hands of just a few "gun nuts". So confiscation will not be much of a problem...

If it’s just 8.1, it looks like I’m pretty average.

Thankfully my Brother has a Masters and is closing on his PhD in Gun Ownership.
