>> “Start with 200 million firearms in private hands.” <<

.
That estimate is 22 years old.

More than 100 million firearms have been sold since Obama took office. 500 million or more private arms are a better guess.

I stand corrected. I did more poking around and even called a Secret Service friend of mine. 200,000,000 is way low.

Best I can tell is no one knows the actual number, but the SS friend said they are told it is likely somewhere north of 350,000,000.

Latest stat I saw at a gun site is 9 of 10 Americans own at least one firearm
