5. Actually a lot of those households have inherited weapons vice being active shooters

Current numbers of households with firearms are mostly based on self identification, which is always questionable. I am comfortable that about 40-60% of American households having firearms, somewhere close to half. However the number of ones with active shooters is no more than 30%, quite possibly less. This is as much based on my experience than any scientific polls.

IME the vast majority of gun owners are of the inherited type or I used to hunt type. Granddad's hunting rifle kind of thing. They are also the least likely to have them properly secured which is a problem IMO. They are also likely to disclaim any gun ownership since they are not active shooters.

Without required registration, its not possible to really know what the true levels are. Use whatever numbers make you feel good.
