I imagine that the number of guns have always been on the increase. The TOTAL number of guns in America is estimated by some pretty reliable sources as about half a billion, give or take a few hundred thousand either way. Per capita? pretty much the same, I would think, if you are looking at the population as a whole. But in my opinion gun ownership is not the same as owning, say, socks. Gun aficionados, in my opinion, may own multiple guns, while some of the more fervent anti-gunners avoid them like the plague.
