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?

I live in the woods of Maine. You need at least three guns here. A shotgun, a rifle and a sidearm. I have multiples of each. They are important tools in the wild as we have bears, mountain lions, wolves, coyotes, coydogs, moose, and crazy people. I'm also one of less than 50,000 accredited gunsmiths in the country.

I own a shotgun and a rifle, but have not fired either in over 30 years. I am for completely banning of assault weapons, all automatic and semi-automatic weapons, and pistols.
