“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.

You make a good argument but based on the total population it’s hard to believe that many households have guns.
Sorry you can’t hunt and hopefully you won’t have to hunt any invaders.
