The number of people owning or living in a house with at least one gun,
seems to be statistically flat, and apparently hasn’t changed since the
70’s. Seems to be just shy of 50% though the two groups would overlap so
the number of households without a gun is unlikely to 50% but lower.

I could well believe that there are more guns about, ie people owning
multiple guns, as well does seem to be a hobby/thing.

Gun laws are state not country aren’t they? So presumably differs hugely.
Ie gun laws and use would differ greatly from states with big cities to
market towns with farmers and what not.
