Americans now own more than 530 million guns

Or home made modern guns.

Or guns made before 1968 that weren't serialized (usually inexpensive) and reducing the numbers would be Guns exported (non-Government Sales) and those destroyed...just like percentage numbers thrown out to support an argument, I expect the Government only has a guess based on whatever numbers they could google...Personally, IDGAF how many they think We have, just so long as they don't know how many I have.
An interesting tangent is the History of Bannerman and more so Bannerman's Island where they had so many surplus Guns (barrels) History | Bannerman Castle (might not have the Barrels used as rebar story)

Back then the permit was like a license to fly, most just didn't bother getting one and to a lesser extent, it is true today.

More sovereign citizen arrests for believing that natural laws, and not the Constitution, govern our society.

Believing that you can make your own suppressors, mg/s ghost guns, explosives, SBR's etc is not true....proven everyday.

I'm no sovereign citizen... But to the above quote...

Really? Who says it's not true? The Govt?

I can absolutely manufacture my own Firearm(s) for personal use absent the intent to sell or transfer! Any Proclamation by the Govt or any acronym agency is factually incorrect! The regulation of accessories too is a slippery slope!

The additional regulatory hurdles put in place as defacto restrictions on exercising 2A activity has been gaslit in the Bruen decision, regardless if States are ignoring it.

I can own an F16! So what if I figure out how to build one instead!? Or an Abrams Tank?

Where does it state that these items are reserved for the Govt? Find it for me... I'm curious! Lmao

5.3 million guns ÷ 340 million people = 1.5 guns per person
F@$kin dismal numbers! China will rethink about invading us again.

@Bustedknees

Estimated that approximately 1/3 of the US population posses a firearm.

That makes about 35 Million family/households!

Makes about 15 firearms per home! Or about 4+ firearms per person in a firearm household...

If we transpose those firearms to general population...

With the Chinese army able to put 100,000,000 men in the field (transport would be another story all together) it would be a fight, basically 1 to 1 ratio... But historically, an invading forces requires 3 or 4 to 1 in order to succeed, so China would require a field of some 300 to 400 million to overcome organized resistance on mainland US. Unfortunately, the dense population centers loaded with progressive anti gunners and tree huggers, I'm sure it would be difficult to field all able bodied persons to fight, or would fight. The planes leaving for the UK, Ireland, Canada and more would be booked out! So numbers mean nothing!

Anyways, no invading force has even faced an armed society that exists here in the US, not at the levels existent here. And this just considers usual every day firearms of course. We can be sure there are plenty of heavier weaponry laying around as well, hahahaha

I find it funny every time they publish this type of gobbly goop... When it's all hypothesis (numbers of firearms)!

Just bouncing my thoughts...

Have a great day

And out of all the gun owners, how many were registered to vote, and then actually VOTED.

And because ALOT of gun owners didn`t/don`t even bother to vote.....is how we got to where we are, today.

Just sayin`

Right you are, and the "Hunters" have the lowest turnout.

They`ve pretty much run all the hunters out of the area where i live. Its nothing like it use to be decades ago. I got my first 8 point buck at age 16. Parents didnt/dont teach their children to hunt. And most kids have been brainwashed and want to squeal on their parents for having firearms in their house`s.

The gun community pretty much pisses on each other boots all the time as well. We`re dieing culture of our own demise. We did this shit to ourselves. Nobody to blame but ourselves for where we`re at today. At one of the clubs i was at just recently, i asked during the club meeting... "what has this club done, to bring new shooters in, what have we done to get the local community involved in the sport". Ya know what i got for an answer.... deer in the headlights...the little crickets were silent.

Don't forget Dominion.
Even if each and every gun owner got out and voted Red, Dominion would laugh and change enough to Blue to make sure they stay in power.

Luckily we got that fixed and are good to go next election cycle; right? Right?
Down the hole it goes.
Pdidhe, Trump/Musk cat fight, bla bla, more of the same.
Unless heads roll (firings, prison time, not cutting off heads) as seen at the beach spelled out in she sells sea shells by the 8647 shore line.

Trump "promises made, promises kept" was to fix that, THIS time, yes/no ????
We cant keep blaming Dominion for our own ignorance, just to let it keep happening.

All i hear and see are excuses and chaos from this administration.
They`ve had long enough, and plenty of evidence, to start arresting these kocksukers.

Its all smoke & mirrors.... just one great big sh!tshow.
I trust NONE of them!

Republicons are red, demOrats are blue, neither side givs a fukk about, you.

I'm waiting till the 4th to be wowed. President Trump is a showmen/salesmen after all.
Would it not be bigly beautiful if we woke up to perp walks all over the country; merry freedom day.

I don`t see it happening. And if it really WERE, to happen, it ain`t gonna be any big fish anyway. A sacrificial minnow at best.

Hillary still walks free every day. Yes/No ??? So......

Giving them more time than we would get.

WHO HUNTS?

Poorer people, generally, who hunt for the meat....generally do not vote.................many just don't understand the issues.

Poachers, jackers, come from this lot, too as news proves.

On our PARTIALLY FORESTED FARM, we had to tear down 15 tree deer stands this past fall, as when confronted, all said.......... "THIS IS STATE LAND AND NO ONE OWNS THE LAND."
Dumbass liars.

Rich people go out west or on safaris.

NYS
AI Overview

In 2023, New York State had approximately 556,897 paid hunting license holders. This includes both resident and non-resident hunters. While this number may vary slightly year to year, it provides a general estimate of the number of individuals actively involved in hunting within the state.

I will bet less than half, vote.

Exactly my friend. Its a 2 tier justice system, fresch. It was by THEIR design, not ours. It was done this way for a reason. (kings & queens)
The rulers above us, keep us squashed, for a reason, with THEIR justice system. So that they can lie, rape, steal from the peasant's.


Our forefathers are NOT proud, of what we have become.
They wrote a piece of paper a long time ago, and we`ve let this government wipe its own ass with it, and then they hand it back to us.

Specific activities are not identified as justification for exercising the 2nd... No activity is required!

The Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms, Shall Not Be Infringed!

That's it... Nothing about being necessary to do anything at all with it (arms).

To keep and bear...

So, back to the estimate, and it is an estimate... An UNDER estimate in my opinion, lol.

As for associating Hunting Licenses as a bearing on firearm possession or assumption of use, need, justification... Again, just a bunch of gobbly goop!

Do 2A people's need to vote? Hmmmmm? Well for NY, there's plenty of 2A people who voted LEFT, we can mostly assume as they carry the votes here in NY. Regardless... Republican politicians are mostly RINO'S anyways and do NOT challenge the Ruling Party. They play along quietly and submit along each crucial juncture! Safe Act and CCIA included and indicative of their voting as NY Voters continue to keep these idiots in office!

What's not talked about is the Non-compliance of NY'ers in regard to Safe & CCIA... What exactly was the registration #'s in NY in contrast to the estimated # of AR owners then? Lol... Is something not a single Politician would discuss with any pleb or commoner!

George Carlin said it best:

Voting is the Illusion of Choice!!!

Can't understand how or why NY isn't covered with a multitude of lawsuits challenging their malfeasance towards 2A... Continually exhibiting that malfeasance to the umpt degree! How their use of Doomsday scenarios aren't based upon facts, only imaginary needs. And the all encompassing Public Safety BS! Too many States exist with NO Restrictions that DO NOT experience those OK Corral scenarios they paint! Biggest problem in NY isn't because of Firearms, but because the lack of consequences for criminal acts! Is simple and well in display here.

Anyways... Just my thoughts this morning! Enjoy your day!
