    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.

        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.

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

            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.
