Recent report by the NSSF (National Shooting Sports Foundation) estimates there are 434 million firearms in civilian possession as of 2019. This includes approx. 20 million "modern sporting rifles". Perhaps there is hope for our Republic afterall.

I helped with that!
Looks like we can hit 450 M in under two years if we keep it up.
Also, more imported shotguns than domestic...I was surprised. -
And half of those are in the hands of CalGun'ers

Yeah, don't get too excited, those 450+ million guns are owned by the same 32% of the population. 450 million guns is NOT the same as 450 million PEOPLE owning guns.
"We" are still a MINORITY of the population.

Strange, as the estimate was around 400M back in 2009 or 2010 (that's accounting for estimated attrition and not counting some categories, such as home-made guns), and since then at least 100M new firearms were added:

This isn't correct. Not considering the outliers (which can be as low as 25% and as high as 50%), the surveys generally report 32% to 42%:
Such high spread results from using different methods and the fact that due to various factors (including their vilifying and persecution) gun owners are often not open about their gun ownership. The second factor also hints at the possibility that the actual numbers are higher.
Also keep in mind that this is the percentage of households with guns in them, not the percentage of gun owners.DiaHero Foundation - helping people manage diabetes. Sending diabetes supplies to Ukraine now, any help is appreciated.

Add at least 40 million to that number, based on 2020 NICS inquiries.
