They do own most of them though. They horde them, and stockpile ammo.
No they do not. Firearms are not cheap and neither is ammo.
There are more guns in the country than there are people. And only 32% of American adults own guns. So if only a 1/3 of adults, who make up 2/3 of the population, own guns and there more guns than people, then the average gun owner owns 5 guns.
I would say owning 5 guns is close to hoarding but maybe not quite there. However, that’s the average. I know many gun owners who only have 1 or 2 guns. That means there are a lot of people who own a lot more than 5 guns.
That’s a revolver, a pistol, a hunting riffle, a shotgun, and an AR/AK.
5 guns for 5 different jobs and you could carry them to the car in a single trip.
“Hoarding” is like… what people who have compounds do.
Most people own 1-3 in their house hold. The rest are collectors and have 10+
So are rich assholes or marginalized people more likely to be able to afford them?
