Those graphs need to be shoved to the politicians' faces. Tweeting to "inform" them is simply not enough.
This Politifact article links a 2007 study which states "Americans make up less than 5 percent of the world's population yet own roughly 42 percent of all the world's privately held firearms".
A quick search doesn't bring up anything supporting that. This Politifact article links a 2007 study which states "Americans make up less than 5 percent of the world's population yet own roughly 42 percent of all the world's privately held firearms," and also links a Pew study claiming 42% of respondents "live in a household with a gun."

I read his tweet as "4% of the [US] population own 43% of the guns [in the US]" but that's probably me being tired, I'll edit that

Still, the chart he posted doesn't lie about the broader topic.

probably also limited by twitter's character count tbfAh, I can understand resding it like that. Likely not worded as best as he could have. But with the numbers being almost identical, I think it's clear he was referring to what you posted.
I mean why treat this like a console war thing when Reggie isn't even at Nintendo anymore
For some reason, I hand this unfounded fear that Reggie might be a hard Republican. Glad he's speaking up about this.
Huh? I mean for their guys to make a statement together or support Nintendo or whatever. The gaming industry is being attacked for the Cheeto in office and the gop. They are literally posting fake news of their own and running with it which is spreading the the web.I mean why treat this like a console war thing when Reggie isn't even at Nintendo anymore
I mean, Reggie isn't white, so him being a Republican would actually be pretty surprising all things considered, even if he does have a lot of moneyFor some reason, I hand this unfounded fear that Reggie might be a hard Republican. Glad he's speaking up about this.
I'm a Nintendo fan, but Nintendo has nothing to do with this, Reggie is retired now, this is his own personal thoughts on the issueHuh?

No lieI mean, the fact that USA owns 47% of the world's firearms is still scary
Not happening while the ESA still wants to play nice with the White House.

Gun laws have nothing to do with being a Republican. If you like a particular political party it doesn't mean you agree with everything the party does. I'm sure there are Republicans who feel the same way about Guns as liberals do.I mean, Reggie isn't white, so him being a Republican would actually be pretty surprising all things considered, even if he does have a lot of money
