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.

What is the actual NUMBER of people who own guns? The percentage  of gun owners may have gone down, but if the total population of America has increased during that time span, more people may actually own guns than before even if the percentage has gone down. I don't know if this is true or not, just pointing out an alternative. If I wasn't on my work computer, I could try to find the answer, but I can't. Sorry.
