  1. I understand there have been sightings of rogue black holes, though.

  3. I have to think it's higher.
    They say 1/3 of Americans own guns.
    That means more than 100 million people.
    That's 5 per gun owner at 100 million.
    Most gun owners own at least 2 or 3 I'd think. That's been my experience and, as we all know, the plural of anecdote is data.
    So that's 2-300 million to start.
    If a quarter or even a tenth of gun owners have small, like 10 guns, medium, large or plus sized collections on the hundreds, you're talking a lot more.
    Maybe not a lot more relatively, but 100s of million more.
    That worries all the right people.

    I would like to know how much ammo Americans have. I'd bet at least a couple trillion or more.
