You are wrong again. "Most American households have gun owners, poll 
shows: ‘Stunning number’"
 
https://nypost.com/2023/11/22/news/most-american-households-have-gun-owners-poll-shows/

"A majority of American households include at least one gun owner, 
according to a new survey that also shows a sharp increase in the number 
of firearm owners over the past decade."

"The NBC News national poll found that 52% of Americans say they or 
someone in their household owns a firearm, the highest share since the 
outlet first surveyed the question in 1999."
