Fascinatingly ignorant statistic for a news outlet to make....

A Oct 2011 Gallup poll indicated that firearms ownership by household was at it's highest point since 1993, at 47%.

Considering the buying that's happened since Dec 2012, does anyone believe it's lower today than 2011?

I don't see a SINGLE DEMOGRAPHIC under 23% by individual or a single household demographic under 36%.
