Statistics published recently suggest 42% of US households have at least one gun. That's a lot of guns; however, as a European who has never visited the USA, based on what I read in the news and see in TV programmes I'd assumed it was much higher - I'd have guessed somewhere around 70-80% of adults owned a gun and "at least one gun per household" would be higher still, probably 90% plus. So that got me thinking: how many US users of this site own at least one gun?

We are 4% or the worlds population and own almost 50% of the privately owned guns. We have almost 1 gun for every person in the country.

Although that would read well on a bumper sticker, it will not qualify you for Mensa membership.
@dahermit No that's not what it means, at all. You must get called it a lot, so you've made up your own definition that allows you to feel good about yourself. It means someone that is purposefully trying to agitate and bully others into their point of view. You believe that no one else on here has a right to their opinion because you think yours is the only right one. You think that commenting on these threads is about winning the conversation instead of having healthy discourse on a difficult topic.
@Colorado88 absolutely not, I am all for a healthy debate.
@EricT my comment was directed at dahermit. Not you.
