I've long-suspected that the ~300 million number was too low. Just estimating off of casual firearm owners I know in the USA, they tend towards 2 firearms per person. Assuming I only know people from the non commie-cuck half, that's ~300 million guns right there.

Once you account for collectors and regular shooters instead of just a couple guns in the closet, you end up with a massive number of additional guns. 600 million sounds far more plausible even at a gut-check level.

Hypotheticals.... If an individual has a smallish pistol collection, say 10 pistols: .22, .32, 9mm, .45, 357, that's only two of each. Add: .22 rifle, 410 & 12ga. shotguns, 30-06, 223, and say a 270, that only 6 long guns, for a total of 16. So, our pretend person has just an average size collection....times say, 86 million owners.

So hypothetically speaking, lost in a tragic boating accident?
