Likewise, I know of one person (unless you count BB guns) who owns a gun. None of my living relatives or friends own a gun (with the single exception).
Now, I can understand not believing a certain statistic and wanting a source, but declaring that you KNOW that a statistic is inaccurate because of anecdotal evidence opens up the discussion to other peoples anecdotal evidence which leads us in circles.
It is true that you KNOW that is innacurate among the people you know. But not necessarily for the entire USA population.
