| Tribuni Angusticlavii | Post; lolI see this thread being a real winner  Just to clarify though, you might want to check your anti-gun sources a little more closely, from what I see this website, while not necessarily pro-gun, is not anti-gun either.

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | 39% of households with firearms isn't a lot, we should work on getting that number up.

| 100% Space Shuttle Door Gunner | I hate to inform you folks but the number is higher. The amount of firearms in every American household is more something like 51%.

| Tribunus Laticlavius | Wanna bet it is higher still? The numbers only reflect the reported number of registered weapons.

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | I have been looking up different statistics on this since I read it. It seems the average is about 40% to 42% of American households with at least one firearm. Obviously it could be higher, but this seems to be the standard percentage given from several different sources I've been scanning thanks to Major Google. |

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | I'm willing to bet it it is higher, since like everyone has said that only accounts for registered guns... Furthermore have you heard how the Aussie gun control is working out, all crime has increased. Armed robber shot up something like 44%, yup took the guns away from everyone but the criminals...

| Tribunus Laticlavius | Can't help but notice that information is a little, umm, old. Let's see, the information in that table was from 1992-1994, the current year is 2007, by my calculation that's anywhere from 15-13 years old. Couldn't up but notice that our suicide rate is considerably lower than most of Western Europe.
