Several Hundred Billion, I reckon.

300 Million to 500 Million firearms; at least a 1000-round starter kit of ammo for each one. Should be a bunch of it.

Billions and billions. Lake City Ammunition factory in Lake City, Louisiana manufactured and sold more that 2.5 billion rounds of 5.56mm NATO in 2010 alone. More than 40% went on the civilian market. Americans shoot up a lot of 5.56mm.

Nobody knows and that’s good.
