But who's counting? Okay, this article is. It has links to the original article with all the math from WeaponsMan (http://weaponsman.com/?p=33875).

Law-Abiding Citizens Have More Than 600 Million Firearms in America

https://bearingarms.com/jenn-j/2017/06/27/more-than-600-million-firearms-in-america/

We’ve all seen this meme around the interwebs, right?

“Legal gun owners have over 200 million guns… and 12 trillion rounds of ammo. Seriously, people… if we were a problem, you’d know it!”

I’ve also seen one that claims we have over 400 million guns and 24 trillion rounds of ammunition. The fact is, while there is no definitive way to tally all the firearms in the United States, it is commonly accepted and reported that there are roughly 300 million firearms in the hands of law-abiding Americans.

But has anyone else noticed that number hasn’t moved in years, even in the 8 years Obama sparked an increase in gun sales, the gun run during Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, and after the NICS background checks system set new records for 15 straight months?

So what if that “300 million” estimate is wrong?

I'm proud to say I contributed to those statistics.

Sorry Stang, revolvers don't count!!! 

Just kidding. Promise I'll take it back if you share. 

Well that just makes too much sense.
If someone were to run an advertising blitz with that graphic there would be heads exploding.

I've contributed to both numbers as well.  I actually may have driven down the ammo quantity as I shoot more than I have been buying lately. . .

i do not own any firearms or ammo, nor any reloading components...

I actually buy some of that stuff and then take it out on a boat and dump it into the ocean because I think those high stats can be used against us by "legislators" and "lobbyists" to infringe our rights even further, so I'm trying to bring the number down...

I'll help you dispose of ammo.  If BI location is preferred, I'll put you in contact with a trusted associate.   

 

As a new member, exercising partial of your 2a is like being bit by  a rattlesnake.  All you need is a little bit...next thing you know BAM you own more than 1 gun.

revolvers count double!

I believe I said "trusted".  Not sure if you can be trusted with ammo. . .
