Oh, definitely! A .22 and .45-70 both have VERY different applications. I still think 72 million owners on 435 million guns is a low estimate.
Looking it up, gun ownership is apparently very uneven.
In 2016, according to one study half of all the guns in the US were owned by the 3% of Americans with 8-140 guns. That group had an average of 17 guns each, while most gun owners had 3 or fewer guns.
