A Nation Full of Guns, But Not Gun Owners

There are about 393 million guns in private hands in the US (i.e. more guns than people), but a lot of those guns are in relatively few hands.

It turns out half of all the guns in the United States are owned by just three percent of American adults, and 78 percent of American adults do not own a gun.

Some 7.7 million Americans own between eight and 140 guns each.
