Asking how many guns are in the U.S. is like asking how many grains of salt are in the Dead Sea—there are simply too many to count. Due to privacy rights and the right to keep and bear arms, which governments in the U.S. are bound to respect, it’s nearly impossible to determine the exact number of firearms.

The Supreme Court’s decision in Haynes v. U.S. (1968) ruled that firearm registrations are unconstitutional, further complicating any attempt at an accurate count.

However, we can make an educated estimate using NICS records, surveys, and import data. The following sections will explore everything you need to know about the number of guns in the U.S.

Report Highlights:

According to the most recent estimates, the United States has between 400 million and 500 million civilian-owned firearms.

There are 1.93 firearms for every adult in the U.S. and 1.5 for every American citizen, including children.

In 2022, there were 22 million people with concealed carry permits.

46% of American households—approximately 65.19 million—contain at least one firearm.

Since 1899, at least 494,060,285 firearms have been manufactured in the U.S.

Guns will not do you any good; because you`re disorganized. Organize an Army, then you wont even need your guns. Besides, the militarized police is more than capable of dealing with individuals or small groups. However, put 100,000 Angry protesters on them and they will Run and Hide. Until you organize your numbers, Ameirca, nobody will fear your guns. However, if you learn to organize, then you wont even need Guns. Why is this So Hard?

How will you people ever learn if you act like children and make fun of the Teacher. I am right here and you can bet your last dollar on it; because it will come to it. If you , class clowns, do not learn and unite your numbers Kamala is going to Sodomize you.

There will always be too few guns in this country until every citizen is armed.

So let’s look at this from a different angle. Australians turned in all their guns and look how it turned out for them. They are slaves to the government who is supposed to serve them. Never let it happen here.

Never let America become a place where only an oppressive government and criminals possess firearms.

Never give up your guns!! Support the 2nd Amendment.

I don’t have a problem with that. The only people who seem to have a problem are the ones trying to become our overlords.
