Number of guns in America 276 million. Population 310 million. We need about 34 million more guns.
“Number of guns in America 276 million...”
I don’t know where you found that number but I suspect it is grossly undercount.
And that is the “real” reason there will not be some kind of armed takeover. Even after training, those guys still can’t shoot straight.
My own estimate on “number of guns in America” is closer to 350 million.
The quote a decade ago was 250 million, and the ATF has been logging about 10 million transfers (background checks) per year since then.
Some of those transfers are used guns, just changing owners and some are multiple guns per transfer, so I’m calling it, as a rough estimate, one new gun per background check.
