Pool tulirelvadest kuulub 3% täiskasvanutele.Overall, there are an estimated 55 million gun owners in the U.S.: Most have an average of three guns; half own one or two guns; and the number of guns owned by Americans has gone up by 70 million over that same time period.
Meanwhile the number of Americans who own guns has decreased from 25% to 22% since 1994. And the study also found that there has been a dramatic increase in gun theft, nearly doubling from 230,000 per year to 400,000 per year.
Pew' keskusel on põhjalikumat statistikat. Relv on 27-34% majapidamistes, olenevalt regioonist:
According to the survey, southerners are just about as likely as those living in the Midwest or the West to have a gun at home (38% vs. 35% and 34%, respectively). The regional exception: Households in the northeastern United States, where gun prevalence is significantly lower (27%) than in other parts of the country.
Other longstanding beliefs about the makeup of America’s gun-owning households are confirmed by these data. For example, rural residents and older adults are disproportionately more likely than other Americans to have a gun at home.
Selle kohta, kui palju relvaomanikest tegelikult relva kannab, ei olevatki statistikat 
Oletatakse, et 90-95+% ameeriklastest ei kanna igapäevaselt relva.
Metoodika poolest tuleb sotsioloogilistel küsitlustel arvestada sellega, et teatud küsimustele vastates kipuvad inimesed tegelikkust alahindama, teatud küsimustele vastates ülehindama (ehk siis luiskama väiksemaks või suuremaks). Relvaomamine on küsimus, mida kiputakse pigem eitama. Ma ise oletaks, et relvakandmist kiputakse pigem ülehindama - need, kes kannavad relva mõni päev nädalas, võivad tõenäolisemalt anda valevastuse, et on igapäevased kandjad kui et ei kanna relva. Aga mul ei ole statistikat, mis seda kinnitaks.
