"90% of the guns in America are owned by White people in the suburbs."

185. You are correct when you write

"Most aren't used for hunting or protection." Most guns are just sitting in people's houses doing nothing, endangering nobody, and are just objects. My father is 81 years old. He bought his first gun when he was 12. It was a 12 gauge shotgun and he still has it. His father hated guns. Actually, the first gun my dad got was a bb gun and his father broke it over his knee. When my dad bought his shotgun he hid it in the barn so his dad wouldn't not break it. When my father started to bring home wild game that he shot, then he no longer had to keep the gun hidden from my grandfather.

You are at one extreme end of the gun-control discussion. There are others who want the gun laws we already have relaxed, and then there is the vast majority in the middle who may or may not own guns, but they mostly keep to themselves, as do their guns.
