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."

"Thirty-two percent of U.S. adults say they personally own a gun"
"while a larger percentage, 44%, report living in a gun household"
Pay attention. 68% of americans do not own a gun. And of the 44%,
most of them are too young to legally purchase a gun.

I suspect a game of semantics; his "68%" probably includes
ALL Americans, from birth on up. And the objections to some
of the books posted by a previous respondent indicate a lack
of comprehension - "major plot hole due to physics" about
what is essentially a fantasy?; "too may guns" about a
zombie apocalypse? Sheesh...
BTW, your data are correct, and may even be significantly
low; very few would claim to have a gun when they don't,
while the converse, especially in today's leftist and
litigious (BIRM) climate, is probably not true.
