Most people in the US do not have guns, either. But the people who do, tend to have a bunch. This is what drives up that ownership rate. They've turned it into their personality.
It's weird how averages work for both countries. It's not like one average is more indicative than another.
And they ones who do that are typically right wing and see its use as reasonable discourse. There's a difference from someone owning a gun because they like to target shoot and see it as a tool as opposed to those who see it as a way to express their power openly.
