Default Re: Guns in America

Those numbers surprise me as well. The first one seems a little misleading to me though. I know a dozen people alone that have between 75 and 100 guns. I probably know many more people that are in that range it just hasn't been talked about.

I mean it's not something you ask unless you're already talking about guns. I also know some people that won't buy guns from a store because they think the govt is tracking everyone. For a while I sold guns and there was one guy (pretty high up guy at FedEx) that would give me his drivers license but would keep it covered while he gave it to me because he thought people were watching him.

The second stat you provided I assume it's the US gets that % of guns available to civilians. Either way that # is surprising.

FTR I'm not a gun nut. I like guns and in times past I've owned up to about 20 of them. I looked at them as just "some cool sh** to have. I was never the guy who had an arsenal because we were going to be attacked errr something.
