Having these discussions over the 'net os so refreshing! You can so easily find the facts to tear down "urban legend" (polite term for outright lies ) stats quoted to support opposing arguments:

from Reason On-line
"According to widely varying estimates, there are between 77 million and 90 million gun owners in the United States.

39 Percentage of Americans report a gun in their home."

.. A lot closer to my guess of 30% than yours of 80% !
