3% own almost half of all guns



Thank you to Harvard and Northeastern Universities for their study of gun policy and behavior, reported on in The Guardian by Lois Beckett.

Among their amazing statistical findings:

3% of Americans own almost half of all guns.

7.7 million people own an average of 17 guns each.

Thanks also to NPR for their interview of Beckett.
