Are you a hunter because you don’t know what you’re talking about.

The fact you’re probably not a hunter further demonstrates we don’t have 150 million hunters

We don’t even have 150 million people with guns.

If the article was that loose with its definitions, did “air force” include civilian airlines and paper airplanes?

We don’t have 150 million hunters by any definition. Not even close.

“We don’t have 150 million hunters by any definition. Not even close.”

Then produce a source that says there isn’t.

As of 2024, there were 123.6 million households in the U.S. that owned a gun. Those are the ones that admit it. The Small Arms Survey estimated 393 million civilian-owned firearms in the U.S. in 2017. When combined with sustained post-2020 purchasing, during which Americans acquired at least 1 million firearms per month for the past five years, and the growth of privately manufactured firearms, an estimate of roughly 500 million civilian-owned firearms is reasonable.

“The fact you’re probably not a hunter...”

I don’t hunt any more because my health won’t let me. But I can guarantee you if someone enters my home to do me or mine harm, I become one again real quick. And I’m armed for it.
