Ted most of those 300,000,000 or so guns are not likely to be a danger to anyone. The number itself isn't scary to me I would go long periods of time without even seing one (except on TV or in a movie) and I have never been shot at (unless you count being shot at with a gun loaded with blanks and with MILES gear). A gun collector may have a lot of guns but most of them never shoot anyone. The danger is from the fact that some of these guns are in the hands of murderous criminals and lunatics. Getting rid of 1 or 2 hundred million guns would do little to make us safer, it might even increase the danger as the criminals would mostly retain theirs and they would have less worry of being stopped.
