After peaking in 1993, gun homicides in the United States dropped 36 percent by 1998, while non-gun homicides declined only 18 percent. In that same period, the fraction of households with at least one gun fell from more than 42 percent to less than 35 percent.
Fewer Americans admit to having a gun in the home. Have you noticed how doctors now ask if there’s a firearm in the house? My answer is always no and I’ll bet a lot of people answer polls as I do a physician’s inquiry.

Why do you ask? Are you planning a home invasion?

They ask one; you ask two.

If there really is a drop in firearm's ownership numbers you have probably nailed the reason why. I haven't been asked by a doctor whether I own guns but I wouldn't answer if he did. I wouldn't answer a phone survey about it either.
