U.S. Gun Owners Outnumber Hunters 5 to 1

[green73]

In 2011, gun owners in the United States outnumbered hunters by 5 to 1.

There were 13.7 million hunters in the United States over age 16 -- 12.7 million of whom used rifles, shotguns or handguns for hunting, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

That means hunters constituted only 15.9 to 18.1 percent of the estimated 70-80 million gun owners in the U.S. in 2011 -- the latest year for which statistics are available.

Sounds about right to me . I also estimate less than 20 % of the population could feed themselves......

I have guns, I don't hunt, I can feed myself without outside help.

Thats no good and probably true if not lower. I don't know, that is a hard one to think about as people are pretty dependent.
