The 3 percent who own HALF are the lunatic fringe I was referring to. Which is still, what? 10 million people? But a fraction of the populace and in no way representative of the majority.

At this point there is no political support in the US for effective gun control therefore the percentage of gun ownership is irrelevant.
There is moderate support in the US for some form of gun control that takes guns away from someone else but not the person actually being polled, once someone suggests taking guns away from the person being polled that support melts away like an ice cream in the desert.
