Listening to CCR on Pandora at work and before "run through the jungle" came on John Fogarty came on and explained he wrote the song based on a statistic he heard that there was a gun for every man, women and child in America and he was blown away by it. Granted the population at the time that song was written was maybe 275 mil or so, but still that's 40+ years ago. No way it's only 1:1
