From The Washington Post:
The survey's findings support other research showing that as overall rates of gun ownership has declined, the number of firearms in circulation has skyrocketed. The implication is that there are more guns in fewer hands than ever before. The top 3 percent of American adults own, on average, 17 guns apiece, according to the survey's estimates.
Interesting. Lawyers, guns, and money! Which of these has the smallest percentage and largest absolute amount? Of course, the other major shift the survey reveals is in the rationale for owning firearms: currently, a majority of owners cite personal protection as their motivation, prior to the 1990's the majority owned guns for sport.

Please do not ask why I put the % in front of the numbers.

OK, then let me ask you instead: Why did you put both a percent sign and the word "percent" to the number 100? Did you mean a hundred percent of a percent, or what? ;-)

Ok, that is a totally valid question.
