The number of civilian-owned firearms in the United States has surpassed the number of people, according to a report released on Monday. With more than 393 million civilian-owned firearms in the U.S., there are just over 1.2 firearms for every American as of year-end 2017, a Small Arms Survey report concluded. In other words, each American can have their own gun, with 67 million guns left over, noted The Washington Post.

| Guns are what they call "durable goods", not so much with people. |

| Given that everybody needs, at a minimum, a combat pistol, a combat rifle, a shotgun, and a .22, we have a way too go. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
