It's best to look at households because children generally don't own their own gun, and often if there is a couple, only one of them will own a gun (usually the man).
44% of US households have at least one firearm in the house.
Not "a small group".
In terms of individuals of all ages, it's 32% of all individuals owning guns -- 45% of all men own a gun but only 19% of all women own a gun.
Therefore the population where it's unusual to own a gun is single women. Single men are also less likely to own a gun than married men.
If we look at those who are married, 52% of all married couples live in a household with guns.
