Gunlover Myth #9: More and more Americans are becoming gun owners.

Fact-check: More guns are being sold, but they're owned by a shrinking portion of the population.
• About 50% of Americans said they had a gun in their homes in 1973. Today, about 45% say they do. Overall, 35% of Americans personally own a gun.
• Around 80% of gun owners are men. On average they own 7.9 guns each.
Never run out of spin.
Guns don't kill people, people with guns kill people - quite often by accident.
The most important day in your life is the day some gunlover-tard accidentally kills you

Stop using math and science to make your point. Guntards and Teabaggers understand neither. Just tell them that a magical guy from 2000 years ago had his son come to you in a vision after you nailed him to a cross and told you so.

Apparently you don't if you can't understand that even though as a percentage of the overall household population the number may decrease, there are far more gun owners.
That's not even considering that, in typical deceptive anti-guntard fashion, they've conveniently omitted that the number of households has increased by about double since 1973 and consists of many more single individual and single parent households which skews the comparison and would account for far more than the difference just on that basis alone. That is, granting their number for the moment, while the percentage for ownership may have declined by 5%, the number of households has increased by about 100%. If there truly were some movement away from having a gun in the home, then the reduction would be expected to be far higher beyond the household increase plus some.
Also doesn't mention that the basis for the ownership numbers is shaky to begin with since they're self-reported not based on some objective source and many these days will not answer such questions when someone calls doing a survey. More objective, independent sources (e.g., permit registrations, sales numbers, etc.) Show far greater increased.
The facts are that there are substantially more gun owners, more new gun owners, more are women (being the fastest growing group), and more guns purchased for defensive use in the home and for carry purposes (particularly among women) than hunting and sporting purposes now.
Keep throwing them up and I'll keep shooting them down. All it does is to provide good examples of how the anti-guntards have to be deceptive since the facts aren't on their side.
