statistical: You do understand that most handguns today are semiautomatic pistols right ... even people owning a single firearm are more likely to choose a semiautomatic pistol, rifle or shotgun.

I do not believe that is technically correct, believe it or not. Due to the large existing revolver gunstock, semi-auto pistols have not yet surpassed them in percentage, even tho they've replaced revolvers as the predominant desired handgun. Most handguns which are SOLD today are semi-autos, but iirc it will take a while to surpass revolvers & derringers etc..
Not sure about rifles & sgs.
