434,000,000

 That's a lotta guns.  For just one country.  

And Instapundit it right.  If they could keep the inventory up in the gun stores over the last decades panic-buys that number would be half a billion.

    Weaponsman (R.I.P.) put the number around 600,000,000. It appears his research was quite thorough since firearms manufacturing history was his particular interest.

    I agree - 434 million is almost certainly significantly low. From 1998 to 2018, government statistics show 200 million guns were manufactured in the US or imported... It would not be hard for the rest of the past 120 years to be twice that again...

I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
