You are correct that the graph is incorrectly labelled. It cannot be a per capita and a percentage at the same time. I did not notice the percentage sign and just took it as a straight comparison of guns to the number of people in the population as a ratio. I think to get to the percentage he shows, it must be the ratio of guns to people and he used a number lower than the 400 million that Colion Noir cited.Excaliber wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 8:38 amThat would make sense for number of guns compared to population,. That is probably what the chart creator meant. However the chart legend shows that the figure is supposed to be per capita percentage of gun ownership, which means what percent of the population owns guns, regardless of how many each individual may own. That ratio can't be greater than 100.srothstein wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 11:15 amCurrent estimates are that there are 400,000,000 guns in the US among the citizens and only 330,000,000 guns. I did not know it was up that high but Colion Noir cited that figure when talking about the Democratic push for gun control the other day.
As an aside, I have been watching some of Noir's youtube videos recently. He is much better with the media than I had expected, especially at catching them dodging questions and trying to get an answer. I am coming to believe that he must have been a pretty good trial attorney.
