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.

Wow, only 15 million hunting licenses for the whole U.S.?

Heck, in Pennsylvania, there are 1.3 million. I guess they’ll just nuke us.
