vs M1s, Apaches, Bradleys, Drones, etc. Hey, I’m with you on this, but of the 300m+ guns you cite how many are individual gun owners? 35-40% of the country? that comes to around 105m. of these how many are libs? how many of these are ar/ak type platforms? pistols? collections? And a lot of that is probably concentrated in southern and midwestern states. i know there is an article on FR that asks what can a pistol do and i support that. i’m just saying the 300m+ figure you cite may not be all that intimidating if we break it down. btw...i hope we never have to find out.
A valid question. Let’s take the amount of hunting licences issued. US Gov figure for 2011 is 14.9 million. The floor for individual gun owners is somewhere north of that as not all gun owners are hunters.
Gets shadowy when you try to break the licence numbers down. How many hunters have multiples to take advantage of special seasons, I.e. Bow hunting, black powder, etc.
Now try factoring that with CCW numbers, total gun sales and so forth.
Total is still greater than all other military services on the planet. Aliens and NAZIs hiding in Antarctica and the secret Moon bases don’t count.
