There are approximately 270 MILLION guns in American civilian hands (no accurate count is available).

I though this could be a very interesting figure for those of you setting up a World War Z scenario where you need to know how many firearms are available.
Wait, the US population is over 322 million...we are in danger of a gun gap! Quick, fire up the machinery, we have about 55 million more weapons to produce!!!: schiessen
