How many gun owners are there in the United States of America?

Answer 1

Number of guns and gun owners in USA.Most estimates range between 39% and 50% of US households having at least one gun (that's about 43-55 million households). The estimates for the number of privately owned guns range from 190 million to 300 million. Removed those that skew the stats for their own purposes the best estimates are about 45% or 52 million of American households owning 260 million guns).

Some recent estimates:

• A 2011 Gallup poll estimates that 47 percent of US households own a gun.
• A 2007 Small Arms Survey estimates there are 88.7 guns per 100 Americans (#1 in the world for guns per capita)
• A 2010 estimate from the NRA states "Privately owned firearms in the U.S.: Approaching 300 million, including nearly 100 million handguns. The number of firearms rises over 4 million annually."

Answer 2

Since the Federal government does not require that ordinary guns be registered, nor do most states, there is no way of giving a specific number of gun owners. It is ESTIMATED that about 25-33% of the law abiding adults in the US own at least 1 gun. Numbers will vary depending on location.

Answer 3

According to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, there were about 215 million privately owned guns in 1999. The NRA estimates that half of all American households (total US population is 294 million) have at least one gun owner.
Numbers vary, but estimates are 70-80 million gun owners with 200-250 million guns.
There is no way to give a definitive answer. There are millions of guns in the U.S. Some estimates say 80 million households have guns, but since there is no national registration, there is no real way to know.
