What is this based on, or what am I missing? From what I've repeatedly read before, it's more like 110 guns per 100 people.

Around 265 million guns ("more than one gun for every American adult") and an estimate of 55 million gun owners in the US. Interestingly, some 7.7m gun owners make up for half of all guns.
- overcast 10y agoGuns are mostly concentrated in Southern/Midwest states. Most people do not own guns in the North and coastal states. Besides people living in the sticks, I don't even know anyone who owns a gun in the New York State city I live. I'm 36 and I've never shot a gun before! http://reverbpress.com/politics/firearms-per-capita-by-state/ http://reverbpress.com/politics/firearms-per-capita-by-state...
