There are 65 million gun owners? Or 65 million guns?
There are less than 300 million people in the country.
25% of them are under 18, and therefore can't own guns.
So a little more than 200 million adults.
Therefore 30% of the adult population owns a gun? I refuse to believe that. It's like the gay advocates say that 10% of the population is gay. No fucking way.
Every interest group inflates their numbers to make their cause seem more correct.
