Number of Americans who Own Guns and the Number of Guns owned by Americans

[Aragorn243]

Some places are trying to get people to admit to their doctors that they have guns. I've always told everyone in my family to say no or if not comfortable with that just say it's none of their business as it has nothing to do with the case of the flu I'm there for today. I also don't broadcast that I have guns. Try to get them in and out of the house quickly and without drawing attention to them. I do talk about them here but to be frank, if a background check wasn't done on the purchase, even you guys aren't hearing about it unless it's something really out of the ordinary. I know there has to be a finite number of guns and they are countable. But some of these studies take into account wear and tear and breakage and put figures as high as 10% when I think most of us here understand that a firearm is pretty hard to take out of commission completely due to breakage.
