The USA Has More Guns Than People — 393 Million Firearms
Joe Biden and running mate Kamala Harris want to take a wide variety of guns away from Americans. (See DNC Platform.) That may prove difficult because Americans own over 393 millions guns according to a recent story. With 393,300,000 firearms in the hands of Americans, that means that there are more guns than people in the USA.
Biden Buy-Back? What could it really cost?
If the Democrats want to confiscate even 10% of firearms with a $500 average buy-back per gun, that could cost nearly $20 BILLION dollars.Here’s the math for 10% of total guns: 39,300,000 x $500 buyback = $19,650,000,000.00
Where do these numbers come from? This 393 million number comes from the Switzerland-based Small Arms Survey. While the USA has roughly 4% of the world’s population, we have nearly 40% of civilian-owned guns on the planet, “ranking the U.S. number one in firearms per capita” (source: WAMU.org. According to the NSSF and Gallup polls there are about 105 to 110 million gun owners in America.

Referring to that same SAS survey, Forbes Magazine noted: “The United States has more guns than people and the research estimates that it had a grand total of 393,300,000 civilian-owned firearms in 2017 — 120.5 for every 100 residents. So how does that compare to other countries? India has a population of 1.35 billion and it comes a very distant second in the gun-ownership league with an estimated 71.1 million weapons. China, the world’s most populous country, comes third with 49.7 million. Pakistan is in fourth place with 43.9 million civilian-owned guns while Russia rounds off the top-five with 17.6 million.”

Makes me proud
You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass
I would rather we had the lowest rate of covid deaths and the lowest rate of bankruptcy because of medical bills than the highest rate of gun ownership.
Now we have political trolls here . . . yeah

Well David, you have done a wonderful job of trading in your individual freedom for a little security. Not everyone wants to choose that path.
As per CDC (Center For Disease Control), 94% of all covid deaths had an underlying issue. The covid thing is something the democrats can scare everyone to help destroy the economy and blame it on Trump. These rats will do anything to gain control and turn this country into another China or Russia. Fight these scum with all your might.
