google says 'depending where u look' 20 million felons and 12 million aleins assuming that those don't overlap that would subtract 32 million from 225 would make193 million eligable for a firearm.so that would get closer to half.then there are people like my daughters all three have firearms all were gifts so they are not counted. my sisters are not counted. until recently my father was not counted either. i figure at least half the country has one. i just bought another safe so i might be a super duper owner
