Actually, the numbers don't speak for themselves. They're just a number. A number doesn't have a meaning outside of simply representing a mathematical value.
You're actually the one who was trying to use that number to "speak" to a point.
But it still kinda does. When only 36% of the population owns guns, and considering how many guns exist here, statistics show - and also a logical conclusion - that single individuals own multiple+ guns. Doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing, it just is.
My issue with it are the unemployed lower echelon of society who somehow still buy guns when clearly, their financial situation does not seem sound to do so. Case in point would be the unemployed idiot at Chapel Hill who still bought guns (despite being unemployed) and then later used one of those guns to head shot execute 3 UNC Chapel Hill students.
