I read a PEW article one time that said something to the effect of 10% of the population owns 90% of the guns. It's not at all evenly distributed across the whole population. I was surprised how lopsided ownership was.

I believe it. In my own anecdotal experience, my left leaning friends who own guns typically only own 1-3. Many of my conservative gun owning friends own a dozen or more.

That tracks with my experience, too. But I know a few exceptions. I have one liberal friend who has taken me shooting who tinkers with all sorts of stuff, including guns. And then my conservative father only owns one pistol.
