Of the 265 million guns in the United States, 133 million are owned by just 3 percent of Americans, according to a forthcoming survey by Harvard and **rtheastern University researchers. Its preliminary findings were released by The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/sep/19/us-gun-ownership-survey?CMP=share_btn_tw) and The Trace (https://www.thetrace.org/2016/09/harvard-**rtheastern-gun-ownership-survey-research/) Monday.
