Just three percent of adults own half of America’s guns

15. probaby not a valid study, not even worth mentioning

aside from calling out the shoddy journalism.

The unpublished Harvard/Northeastern survey result summary, obtained exclusively by the Guardian and the Trace, estimates that America’s gun stock has increased by 70m guns since 1994. At the same time, the percentage of Americans who own guns decreased slightly from 25% to 22%.

The new survey, conducted in 2015 by public health researchers from Harvard and Northeastern universities, also found that the proportion of female gun owners is increasing as fewer men own guns. These women were more likely to own a gun for self-defense than men, and more likely to own a handgun only.

If this study exists, done by shills like David Hemenway. Since it isn't published, and his prohibitionist studies usually aren't, in a peer-reviewed journal in sociology or criminology, it isn't worth mentioning.

BTW, The Trace is Bloomberg's anti-gun Pravda.
