I know this sounds crazy, but my first thought was "only 9%?"... I've seen so many angry frustrated people in the past weeks that I refuse to believe there is any other type of people. So... 9% of Americans own guns?
There's a difference between people who have trouble controlling their anger or impulsive behavior and people who simply get angry or impulsive. Chronic impulse issues is a separate category altogether.
It occurred to me after the fact that you might be attempting humor, but thanks to Poe's Law I can't tell.
Still, the US population is presently over 320 million which makes 9% of that approximately 28.8 million. That's 28.8 million people who own guns and have a problem with impulsive displays of anger. So no, I don't consider that a small number.

32% in 2010
9% of Americans overlap between the group of people who have anger issues and the group that own at least one gun.
Yeah... I was saying that I'll just assume all people are angry. So... that leaves 9% to be the people who own a gun.

You disagree with me and you feel like the number isn't so small. I got it.
