...we've bought 100 million since Obama got in. There are a lot more than 270 million guns here, that's for sure.

It was 300 million when Zero usurped the office. It's at 400 million now, and climbing.

"...we've bought 100 million since Obama got in. There are a lot more than 270 million guns here, that's for sure."

I think the number is about 150 million NICS background checks since Obama was elected. I don't know if I am typical or atypical, but the last time I made a purchase, I bought 3 (three) guns at the same time, on 1 (one) NICS background check.

This study is silly.

My own guesstimate is that there are at least 450 million firearms in private hands in the country.

Notice a correlation? The more money the gummint spends that it does not have the more guns and ammo the folks buy. Hmmmm....

400+ million would have been my guess.

If 3% of the population (~10 million people) own half the guns (200 million), that works out to a bunch of people averaging 20 each.

I’ve fallen behind.
