content: Its actually not true tho. I've read studies that claimed the following:  40% of guns in the US are in the hands of 3% of population. 34% of us households are armed with at least one gun. 30% of Americans own guns.  These statistics vary from source to source by up to 10%, usually on the plus side. Generally i think you can say with certainty that 1/3 of America is armed. However, that rate apparently used to be as high as 65-70% in the 60's so its actually a massive drop, and going down. The mass gun buying panic of the last decade seems to be caused by people who were armed before, buying additional guns due to fear of bans by Obama. Witch would explain how the number of guns rises but not so much the ownership percentage. Niggers are armed too, but mostly illegally and with a single handgun.
