In: Firearms [Edit categories]

90% of America owns a gun 30% of the people owning a revolvers 16% owning automatics and the rest shotguns and or rifles.

No exact answer is possible, since there is no national requirement for registration of firearms, and MOST states have no such requirement. In the Gallup Poll conducted in 2004, the rate of gun ownership was about 3 of every 10 American adults. That is about 92,771,000 people. There are other surveys with other numbers, however, they are somewhat suspect, since they seek to advance a political agenda.
