    Gun ownership is disparate. While the mean is 1.2 guns per American the median is 0. gun owners tend to own many guns. 68% of Americans don’t own a gun at all per pew research, and about 20% of American gun owners own 65-70% of all guns.

      also the “it’s so i can overthrow the government” crowd was mostly (though not universally) talking about a dangerous persona like a black woman, not their godking pedophile. the people with guns who would challenge this are maybe 2% of the population and 0.5% of the firepower of the united states military forces.
