"It is rare for a legal gun owner to commit a criminal act with their gun." Robb Jan 2013 #29

What percentage of legal gun owners does the remaining 73% make up? GreenStormCloud Jan 2013 #37

So why is everyone using the 80 million number? Seems made-up. FSogol Jan 2013 #36

Multiple gun owners in one household. GreenStormCloud Jan 2013 #38
