Does the 80/20 rule apply?
I'm curious...
For those of you not familiar with the 80/20 rule, it states that 80% of something is controlled by 20% of the people who have interest in it.
Makes sense right? The hardcore, wealthy, and hardcore and wealthy will naturally dominate any interest, enterprise, or pursuit.
What I'm getting at, is considering all the private arms in the US, do you think the 80/20 rule applies? Does a small fraction of gun owning Americans own most of the supply?
It seems entirely likely. I own right at 11 pieces myself... yikes how did that happen... and consider my collection small, but I know plenty more people who own 2 guns or 1 gun. My brother owns exactly 3 guns, my mom only 1, several of my uncles only have 1 or 2.
Now put me against some of you guys with a few dozen or a few hundred of the things, and I become convinced the rule is probably true.
