Do you know that the household gun ownership has come down from around 50% in the 1970s to around 30% now, though the per capita gun ownership has increased considerably? (No one has pointed out this before - One more Noble Prize in the making)

Increase in educational attainment provides an opportunity to increase our understanding on the risks involved in gun ownership, and there is as much as 10% difference in gun ownership between those with a graduate degree or more compared to those with partial college or high school education with lesser educated individuals having more guns.
This is not the only factor, but is certainly an important factor.
