Survey: Declining Gun Ownership for U.S. Households 
----------------------------------------------------


 
New figures show U.S. gun ownership per household is on the decline. A
survey by The New York Times shows while 50 percent of households owned
a gun in the 1970s, the figure today is 34 percent. Other studies have
reported a smaller decline, with the number at 43 percent.
