Meet America's gun super-owners with an average of 17 firearms each
Couple of quotes from the article.
That top 14% of gun owners a group of 7.7m people, or 3% of American adults own between about eight and 140 guns each. The average is 17.
"I'm from Texas, and I just have an assload of guns," said John Risenhoover, a retired agent from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms who now lives in Colorado.
Risenhoover said he owns about thirty guns, including firearms given to him by his father-in-law and grandfather, his self-defense Glocks, a shotgun for hunting ducks, a larger rifle for hunting elk, and a few .22 handguns, "little plinker guns" he used to teach his children how to shoot. (His daughter is more enthusiastic than his son, he noted.)
"The fact that you'd open the closet and have a stack full of guns in this country is really not a big deal," he said. "I know it sounds weird."
I think that over 20 is a super owner, and a high percentage of Texans own more than 10.
