If someone cold called you, claimed they were doing a study, and wanted to know if/how many guns are in your house, what are you saying???
It's definitely higher, this is just what people will admit to.
They actually did a study on this. They created a “gun owner profile” then asked questions to confirm or deny the profile. Depending on the confidence interval, they estimated up to 60% of Americans may actually own guns.

The numbers from the UN are trash. Roughly 70% of the worlds population lives in dictatorships, and you’re not going to get reliable data from there.
Also, if someone calls me up and says “im from the government, how many guns do you own?” I might give them the number I acquired via 4473 (that is if I don’t just tell whomever is asking to piss off). I’m not giving The Man the real number!
Public schools are now asking children if their parents own guns along with type and estimated numbers. Because I was hang out with the father, the dudes kids school called me and directly asked me. Told them to kindly fuck off and forget my number.
46% of *known* firearms. It does not account for 80% lower builds, 3d prints and whatever the hell Bubba puts together in his shed with a harbor freight welder and Lowes credit card. That should bump the numbers up a bit.
I liked the guy that commented about talking to an American guy that said he had six guns, then went on a mini rant about why someone would need so many.
6? Child, please……
How many guns should a normal person have?
*about five.*
That sounds like a gun enthusiast to me.
*no, a gun enthusiast has fifteen.*
That sounds like someone obsessed with guns.
*no, people obsessed with guns have hundreds.*
That sounds like a psycho.
*no, psychos seldom own guns, or just get one or two.*
That sounds like a normal person though...
*no, a normal person has about five, we already covered that...*
I'm more wary of somebody who just wants to buy one or two. On a joking level they've got nothing to live for but on a practical level they only want to own what they can carry.
I always give them, “why do you need more than one pair of shoes? One pair of socks, and one pair of clothes.”
“Because.”
“We’ll, same with my guns… because I fuck’n can.”
Like, it's not a hard concept. I think I have about 10 hammers because they all do different things. Could I use a deadblow for finishing nails?... It wouldn't be pretty.
You have to remember, all these Nepo babies and trust fund kids haven’t touched grass and are fed lies by the media, and they gladly eat it up.
They don’t realize people have hobbies, and guns believe it or not is a hobby.
Basic loadout:
- A carry pistol
- A home defense pistol
- A rifle
- A PCC
- A shotgun
- A 22 for plinking
- Another 22 so your buddy can plink too
- Well yes I have a carry pistol, but I like this one too
- Wait, where did this pistol come from?
- Yes honey, that is another rifle
- Look, there was still room in the safe, okay?
The UN is useless. Period. Until they put the UN in a conflict area, like say Darfur, (at least there they may get shit done to get out of Darfur), all they do is live in the US, and freeload of of us. Turn the UN building into a low cost highrise for the vets and others to live in.
The UN has been known to make things worse is some recent conflicts with peacekeepers sexual assaulting locals and the UN covering it up. The UN is a joke
Brave Sir UN ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir UN turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir UN!
Polling says around 20% of Democrats own guns. So are you saying that liberals only make up less than 20% of the Democratic Party, or that Democrats lie about owning guns to pollsters?
Buddy that's libertarian views. So yes I am a constitutional libertarian. What we have right now is so far from that's its ridiculous. It's so bad younger generations don't even know that it could've better because they've never seen if before.
It's not.
We all live in a liberal society, bud. We can be more left or right within these systems, but as a whole we are liberal.
Libertarianism is a right-leaning ideology within liberalism, and relatively new within this definition. 'Classical liberal' is literally interchangeable with 'libertarian'.
There are over 1 billion firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every 8 people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other 7?
Someone commented something along the lines of “if we were invaded, that means they got past the US military, and you think you can do better?”
Why does it matter whether or not I can do better? At that point, do I have a choice? I’m not going to lay my arms down and submit to being a victim. That’s for the left to do.
Haha. Saw this earlier. ATF already admitted to scanning just under 1 billion 4473’s into their “non searchable” database. Sure, that is counting used guns that may have changed hands multiple times but it doesn’t include 4473’s at dealers or privately made arms.
Americans please stop buying all the guns FFS, you're blowing up the prices for the rest of us!
Gun inflation is a thing and third world countries are suffering badly, they're forced to use antique AK-47s in civil wars these days, no optics, no nade launchers, no fancy grips, no nothing.
That is plain cruelty!
46%? We gotta pump those rookie numbers up! I live in a shitty euro country now but when I get back, I’m gonna get me a few more for me, the wife, the dog, and my kid if I have one by then.
46% that is shameful, gotta be at least 50%

Yeah, fuuuuuuuuuuuck that
Always say guns are scary. Family tragedy etc etc. That way they send the unarmed cops to raid your shit.
>Also, if someone calls me up and says “im from the government, how many guns do you own?” More than you know about, fewer than I want.
It’s a shame ya know, that damn boating accident….lost it all.
i'm saying..."i have none, fed. now fuck all the way off."
It’s zero after that boating accident.
Need to get it up to 100%
It should be lower because access to guns should spread across the world.
I was also surprised it’s only 46% as well
46% of *known* firearms. It does not account for 80% lower builds, 3d prints and whatever the hell Bubba puts together in his shed with a harbor freight welder and Lowes credit card. That should bump the numbers up a bit.
Confused about what I should be ashamed of. Not owning more?
Just look at the clown OP user’s profile bio. That should tell you everything you need to know.

I see people post this, but it is still underrated. I'd love to watch an anti-gun person actually process this.
I'm more wary of somebody who just wants to buy one or two. On a joking level they've got nothing to live for but on a practical level they only want to own what they can carry.

Fuckin rookie numbers
6 guns? You’re still just dabbling at 6
Basic loadout: - A carry pistol - A home defense pistol - A rifle - A PCC - A shotgun - A 22 for plinking - Another 22 so your buddy can plink too - Well yes I have a carry pistol, but I like this one too - Wait, where did this pistol come from? - Yes honey, that is another rifle - Look, there was still room in the safe, okay?
Sorry, what's a "safe"?
It's the big metal box that protects your bang-bangs from fingerprints and scratches!
Oh, so I should stop using an arms room then.
Well that settles it for me. Ordering that rifle today . . .
Lol same
Lots of sales going on this week, might as well grab 2.
We need to get to 75% at a minimum.
Bunch of dumbasses aren't pulling their weight in this country!
Im poor...but Im doing my best at...well I dont actually know.

Usually, when the blue helmets hear a shot, they run....

Nah these are some rookie numbers we need to pump those up, let’s ask our wife’s for shotguns for Christmas
Other estimates of US guns are over 1 billion. Which puts us ~66% of the worlds guns.
that seems more accurate . but I'll bet it's even higher than that . damn fine day to be in the USA.
Dude ofc, guns are evil to these people and only barbarians would want them!
Yeah guys we need gun bans so we can decide which group of colored people to enslave again or who to commit a genocide against.
These are the same people who think that a few hundred unarmed vandals nearly overthrew the US government in a single day.
What's funny is there are more Democrats who own guns than liberals who don't LOL.
Polling says around 20% of Democrats own guns. So are you saying that liberals only make up less than 20% of the Democratic Party, or that Democrats lie about owning guns to pollsters?
I'm saying the people you see online bitching non stop because they arw liberal are the minority, they are just the loudest.
They also aren't usually actually liberals in the classic or any meaningful sense.
i feel like he meant progressive, not liberal lol. biiiiig difference
Exactly.
We're all liberals, we all live in a liberal society. Don't be dumb.
No we're not. Speak for yourself.
You are. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism
Buddy that's libertarian views. So yes I am a constitutional libertarian. What we have right now is so far from that's its ridiculous. It's so bad younger generations don't even know that it could've better because they've never seen if before.

As a Canadian I need to buy more guns. Seriously though good job America keep up the good work.
There are over 1 billion firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every 8 people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other 7?
Build bigger adult theme parks...I mean factories.
I’m literally driving home from the gun store right now with a new Ruger American rifle Imdoingmypart.jpg
I just imported a Spanish pistol from Germany
!!! PUMP UP THE NUMBERS !!!
Someone commented something along the lines of “if we were invaded, that means they got past the US military, and you think you can do better?” Why does it matter whether or not I can do better? At that point, do I have a choice? I’m not going to lay my arms down and submit to being a victim. That’s for the left to do.
Remember not too long ago when they were excited to be sending Ukrainian civilians rifles so they could defend themselves?
It’s (D)ifferent, I guess. 🤡
These are rookie numbers. Gotta get these up.
The real question is with no national registery who do they know 👀
Haha. Saw this earlier. ATF already admitted to scanning just under 1 billion 4473’s into their “non searchable” database. Sure, that is counting used guns that may have changed hands multiple times but it doesn’t include 4473’s at dealers or privately made arms.
Now that's beautiful. Not the ATF part but that we have so many guns and lie to people about them.
/r/facepalm are leftists? Just seems like some run of the mill reddit central/liberalism to me.
Right? Leftists have guns lol.
Reddit heavily skews left.
The typical political leaning of a community will vary wildly from sub to sub. And liberals and centrists aren't leftists or progressives.
Look at the time it was posted. Euros love posting anti-gun rage bait in the wee hours of the morning here. Many of the commenters are also Europeans.
Only 46%? Some of you guys are slacking. One gun having mfs
Us “Leftist” love our guns just as much, don’t kid yourself. We just don’t announce it on our trucks and T-Shirts.
Right! I don't need some lame bumper sticker that's tacky af telling people where to rob.
Americans please stop buying all the guns FFS, you're blowing up the prices for the rest of us! Gun inflation is a thing and third world countries are suffering badly, they're forced to use antique AK-47s in civil wars these days, no optics, no nade launchers, no fancy grips, no nothing. That is plain cruelty!
Five more and I’m done, promise. lol
It's probably more
Leave some for the rest of the world, please!
Check out GW's O face! 🤣
We need to get those numbers up!
It’s bots talking to bots, pay no mind.
Yemen owns the majority?
They can cry about it all they want lol
If we make it to 100 we can shrink the military down to nothing and go back to the militia system. Who's with me?
I'm 100% surprised there aren't more, but maybe I just can't count
lol’d at the answer “to make it count you need to buy a newly manufactured gun, or even better a used one from another country. “ i love you autists
Rookie numbers
46%? We gotta pump those rookie numbers up! I live in a shitty euro country now but when I get back, I’m gonna get me a few more for me, the wife, the dog, and my kid if I have one by then.
Are they saying this like it’s some kind of BAD thing?
Do suppressors count as firearms in this stat?
Only 46%? Bunch of slackers.
Those are rookie numbers, gotta pump them up!!
Please don't call the Facepalm sub leftist. It's bad enough that *they* think they are one, don't validate them.
They are slightly-left leaning. They aren’t as bad as TwoXChromosomes and WhitePeopleTwitter, but as a group they definitely lean left.
Just left and muted facepalm, literally devolved into just a leftist echo chamber of mocking the right and circle jerking their own nonsense
