I cannot remember the exact numbers but it went something like:

20% of the American people will be very anti gun. Speak out and complain and really let people know how we don't need guns.

then there are 20% of the American people out here who will be pro gun and support gun ownership and use. Speak right out there and will let everyone know it

the other 60% of the American people are just there. Sitting on the fence. Sure, no one will condone killing others but they aren't looking to ban guns. They just don't take a firm side.

Many of the first 20% who hate guns, have never own a gun, had any formal training with a gun or in many cases ever used a firearm.

Many of the 20% who are pro gun, have taken training, have been around firearms most of there lives and most own more then one firearm, in fact most own several if not many firearms.

Your view will be impacted by where you live City vs. Country living. And what your parents views were. So, if Dad had guns, most likely their children who have grown up with them will also or at least understand the use of firearms.

Like here in our area, there are many gun clubs, almost in every town or village. There are more Guns then there are people. You go the gun clubs and people are there 24/7, 7 days a week. With any and all types of firearms. And just like everything else, people want and love to play with all types of firearms. Family's there including young kids learning from the parents how to properly use them.

All agree that bad people use guns for bad things. The rest of the people suffer for what they have done.
