How many people/household have guns in the United States

I will keep looking, but the best I can remember is that at least a third of the people own firearms. I think I saw mention if it in the latest UNICRI report, although that only dealt with the European Union. I did notice something interesting--Norway & Iceland were completely excluded. They r not members of the European Union, but should the U.N. even consider that? Does not that make the U.N. a lacky of the E.U.?

You have to know where to look on the NRA site. In this case, under the Insitute for Legislative Action which is separated because it is not a nonprofit. You r not nonprofit if you're lobbying. Sara Brady messed up once on something like that. She tried to sue the NRA & it turned out the NRA was clean but she wasn't.

How many people/household have guns in the United States

You're not going to get any reliable figures because nobody knows. Because it is not a requirement to notify any agency about owning a gun, no one knows how many are out there, or where they are.
If you wanted to know how many people in China own a pair of shoes that are four years old, how would you get a reliable answer ?
Guns are just tools. How many screw-drivers are there is Germany ? How many pliers are there in Russia ?
