bit of a misleading use of an incorrect stat

It was 51% of households in 1978, 40% of households in 2020

(source: User Posted Link

In 1978 there were 33m households. In 2020 there were 128m households.

(source: Google search)

So what's that, a 55% increase in US households owning guns since 1978?
