In 2017, Americans owned just under 400M guns. https://americangunfacts.com/gun-ownership-statistics/
While I don’t have sauce on this, ammo ownership is over 2 trillion.
These foreign invaders better be careful when and where they decide to try some sh*t.
Since January 2020 about 2 million guns per month have been sold. So in the last 53 months about 106 million. These are mostly handguns and ARs. Everyone is packing these days.
But the registered guns purchases are easy to count. The legacy weapons and guns purchased before all the gun grab laws are impossible to quantify. A State like Michigan, where hunting is a family tradition and opening day of deer season is nearly a State holiday, there are millions of uncounted firearms that have passed through the generations. I know of many people who have guns that come from their great grandparents and were purchased in the 1800s.
And none of this counts the millions of bows and now crossbows. Michigan several years ago made it legal to use crossbows for hunting. Archery deer and bear are huge in Michigan. All those bowhunters purchased crossbows and now the crossbow is the most used. Crossbows are highly lethal, gunlike but silent. But those bows are still there.

The number of guns owned by the public is seriously undercounted.
In 1990 it was 650 million and projected to cross 1 Billion by 2000. The real number has to be over 2 Billion currently.

"The number of guns owned by the public is
seriouslydeliberately undercounted."There are more licensed deer hunters in America than there are members of the total US military — all branches, Active and Reserve.
Somehow I don't think the North Idaho State Fair has anything to worry about in this regard.
