OK.
a) I said "people I know" not "friends". So, the moron comment will have to be saved for later.
b) You probably have a lot more gun owning friends, than I do. I live in the country and every dick and his dog has a gun. Many have more guns than teeth, if you get my drift. Come for a visit any time, Thursdays are best, because then we can go to local traffic court and take the pulse of the local collective IQ. I bet after a few days in my neck of the woods, you may wonder about guns restrictions after all. I'm sure your friends are responsible, triple digit IQ having people. Preselected cohort, and all that.

ps The three friends are about 6% of the gun owners I personally know. And about 40% of the gun owners I count as friends. (off the top of my head. I honestly haven't done an accounting)
