Jesus! Millions of gun owners in NY state? I find these stats hard to believe.

According to Wikipedia the last census put the stat's population at 8.5 million, and you're saying there are millions of gun owners? Let be conservative and make that 2 million gun owners. Almost a quarter of the population - one in four of every adult and child - own a firearm and are upset about registering their guns?

I know (edit: the median) Americans are gun crazy and that on average there are ~ 90 guns for every one hundred citizens - but I thought there would be multiple guns per owner.
