A new survey finds half of all the guns in the United States are owned by just 3 percent of American adults.

This portrait of gun ownership represents the equivalent of about 17 guns per person among the 7.7 million Americans who own between eight and 140 guns each.

The number of guns in the country is rising—the nation’s stock of firearms has swelled by some 70 million guns since 1994 —while the percentage of gun owners in America has dipped.

The new study, which is based on a 2015 survey of some 4,000 people, found threepers were also less likely to be black or Hispanic compared with the rest of gun owners.

Much of the existing data on gun ownership is debated. Hoplosexuals often argue that Americans under-report gun ownership—challenging reports that ownership is dropping—and, already, some of them are questioning the validity of the new survey.

“Really? Three percent of American gun owners own half the guns? That seems wildly off the mark,” Mike Bazinet, a spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, wrote.

I find this hard to believe. I am sure it will be challenged.
