Headlines like that are good evidence that the number of gun owners in the country are way up.

Two-thirds of U.S. weapons owners would 'defy' a federal gun ban http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/watercooler/2013/jan/20/two-thirds-us-weapons-owners-would-defy-federal-gu/ Question 46 in the wide-ranging survey of more than 1,000 registered voters asks if there is a gun in the household. Overall, 52 percent of the respondents said yes, someone in their home owned a gun.
In recent poll, 52% said they had a gun in the household. Given that 76% of the nation 313.9 Million are adults (238.6 Million Adults).

Crunching the numbers even more and adjusting for household circumstances and gun ownership underreporting.

(52% of 238.6 Million) I would estimate there are about 120 Million gun owners..

Of course that doesn’t take into account ‘Boating accidents’……………..
