It is already a done deal. There are at least 100 000 000 gun owners
in the US. Guns are no big deal. Thirty years ago I gave my sister and
brother-in-law his and hers shotguns for their wedding. They still
have and use them, unlike much of the crap that passes for wedding
presents.

That's a third of the population including 0-18 year olds.

I could imagine there's 100 million guns but not 100 million owners.
