I think I read somewhere that there are more privately owned firearms in the US than every military in the world...combined.

I remember seeing a similar article - I think it was something like private ownership [of small arms] in the US exceeded the combined total of the 21 largest militaries in the world. I also think that article is like 10 years old.......so possible you saw an updated version and we had surpassed *all militaries for small arms ownership?

There was another article showing private ownership of ammunition in the 10s of billions of rounds.

They base these numbers n NiC and manufacturing estimates

Have seen a reliable source that estimates probably twice that number in actuality considering the lack of records not that many decades ago

Also that there are probably 20+ million firearms that are lost, forgotten or packed away that no one knows where they are
