...every 100 people having 90 guns ...

This works out to 270 million guns (privately-owned) in the US.

I remember seeing quotes of 250 million a decade ago.

ATF background checks have been running about 10 million per year since, so I'd guess the total US private gun ownership is closer to 350 million, or about 115-120 per 100 people.

I suppose a land invasion of the USA by China will be put on hold : )
