I seriously doubt the accuracy of this claim. Hopefully it will never come to a point where we find out either.

“I seriously doubt the accuracy of this claim.”

I don’t. Not unusual for a small percentage to hold a majority of something influential (money, guns, real estate, etc). It’s an exponential curve, meaning most have few but few have most.

A key statistic he’s pointedly ignoring: 50% of citizens have 100% of the guns.

There’s a diminishing return for someone owning more than others. You can only use one gun at a time, so having 100 guns really doesn’t mean much beyond someone who owns one. As “Click & Clack” put it: the difference between two headlights and one headlight is a whole lot less than the difference between one headlight and no headlight.
