When the statement, "more people own guns" is made it means that people who did not previously own a gun decided to purchase one. Unless your argument is that every single firearm purchased since 1992 was bought by a person who already owned a gun then your position is demonstrably false. Are you making that claim? I'll be interested in seeing you tap dance around this question.
The "fact" is that the percentage of people owning guns has either dropped or stayed the same.
I agreed that probably some new people had bought guns because I assume some other gun owners had either died or gotten rid of their guns.
There can be "new" gunowners without there being "more" gunowners.
