According to infoplease.com there were 105,480,101 occupied “dwelling units” in the United States own guns. Eight years on, it would seem 110,000,000 occupied dwellings would be a reasonable estimate. The Census estimates the current US population at 306,000,000, so the mean population of each “dwelling” is 2.9 individuals.

We can assume that everyone who lives in a home with a gun owner has exposure to the guns in the home. While that begs the question of how many gun owners there are, the real question then becomes “What percentage of American homes contain one or more guns?” And that’s a tricky one!

“Is there a gun in your home?” would have been a nosy question before the big gun control drives of the 1960’s. After those drives, gun owners fear of gun confiscation has been so great that a high percentage of gun owners will deny that fact to everyone not known to be a fellow gun crank. Especially those California, Illinois, and New Jersey residents who have had a gun under the mattress since 1967.

    The right to keep and bear arms is a Natural or God given Right, not a Constitutional Right. The Constitution gives us no Rights. It is there to tell the federal government that it is its job/duty to protect OUR Natural or God given Rights. Just saying!! ;-)

    No such law would be passed anyway. It is mathematically impossible to enforce.
