minus-squarePipoca@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 months agoLooking it up, gun ownership is apparently very uneven. In 2016, according to one study half of all the guns in the US were owned by the 3% of Americans with 8-140 guns. That group had an average of 17 guns each, while most gun owners had 3 or fewer guns.
