There are something like 200 million guns in circulation in the US (including all types of firearms). However, because of this I believe the manpower pool in the US would be more capable(since most americans know how to shoot a firearm) if both sides started a draft (which in this type of all out war it would be required) |
bolded: thats a patently false statement. they are rarely owned, almost imposible to get, and are heavily regulated.
also its closer to 400 million. there was like 50 million background checks in 2012 alone for firearm purchases (and that doesnt track multiple purchases).
