A big thank you to Obama, Hillary, Beto and all you other Democrat gun-grabbers!

[[Americans own 423M guns]]
You know the reason why foreign governments don’t invade our country? Because Americans own 423M guns
Mission accomplished-
If this is accurate, clearly there are a lot of people who need to seriously step up their game on their ammo stash. That’s only about 20 rounds per weapon.
Rates of firearm ownership and gun sales are on the rise despite calls for gun control...

Rates of firearm ownership and gun sales are on the rise because of calls for gun confiscation and illegal acts by the Demagogic Party in Congress...
Thanks PROCON.
I don’t think anyone knows
I’m guessing we have over a billion firearms
My family has nearly 100
From generations back and so forth
Assuming a lot of those guns are antiques or display items that are never fired/cannot be fired the rounds per weapon would increase.
Example: I own a vintage 1903 shotgun. it is an 8 gage. I can’t buy ammo for it as far as I know. Not that I want to afford anyway. But, it would still be listed as one of those guns that are owned
8.1 Billion rounds? We’re low on ammo!
Yeah, I hate stories like this. They make my ammo locker look pretty darn empty.
“My family has nearly 100.”
Where do you keep something like that?
I would venture to guess there are many more that were uncounted.. such as fully automatic firearms from before the firearms control act of 68.
That is not what the report says. The report says: "An estimated 8.7 billion rounds, of all calibers and gauges, were produced in 2018 for the U.S. market."
Think about it, if let's say 150 million firearm owners collectively owned 8.1 billion rounds, that would only be 54 rounds per owner.

Use it right and that’s all you need. This number is way too low! Guns are not like CRT Computer screens or iPhones, where people throw them out when the latest and greatest comes out. . No one say” Hey I got a new Glock for Christmas. Time to throw out my Ruger!” They are only thrown out to coverup a crime. This number is less that 1/4 of the guns that are out there.
well, there goes all the communist-nazi style “confiscation” talk
(half a billion and many more when we include all the off-record pieces.....all capable of defending against any attempted confiscation... after all, its not like the commie/nazis want to try stealing people’s kitchen toasters, ha!!)
or as our neighbor says, “Make My Day, just TRY it!”
fyi: Americans own 423M guns & 8.1B rounds of ammunition, latest data shows.
Your tagline.

CCI has been reported to make 4 million rounds of .22 LR per day. That’s at least a billion rounds right there. One company.
