Im calling BS on this, if someone called me for a survey and asked how many and which types of guns I am not answering.

Considering that Nola.com is part of the liberal agenda and this is their evidence:

Just 3 percent of American adults own half of the nation's firearms, according to the results of a Harvard-Northeastern survey of 4,000 gun owners.

I'd say that they are full of ****.

3% of 1/2 the firearms, so 1.5% of all the firearms in the nation are owned by adults? LOL WUT

By a rough estimate that there were 21.8 million hunting licenses sold last year and a US population of 318.9 million, if my math is correct, then that is 6.8%. That is more than double the results of that survey. Most hunters own firearms.

Your facts don't mean anything to a Liberal. While you may be able to prove that there were 21.8 million hunting licenses sold, those Liberals will have a study that shows only 3 of those 21.8 million hunting licenses were used to catch a fish.

"3% of those surveyed online state they own 17 or more firearms"

"The Harvard/Northeastern study is based on a survey of nearly 4,000 Americans conducted online in 2015 by a market research company, GfK, with a nationally representative panel of opt-in participants who are compensated to complete surveys on a variety of issues."

Apparently you are a "Super Collector" if you own 17 or more guns. Love the catch words.

I am actually taking a pretty intense stats class right now and one of the issues we have discussed is representative samples...and this fails every single criteria to be one. So basically it's a load of crap.

No p values of less than .001 in that study.

What percent of people buys 50% of all the ammo?
