There's no real way to know. Most states in the U.S. don't require registration, so there is not real way to know who does and who doesn't own a gun, except in a few states.

Depending on what estimates you look at, the number of handguns in the U.S. ranges from 100 million up to several hundred million. Some estimates place handgun ownership at 1 in 3 (33%).
