Please have a credible source. I am not asking opinions, views, etc. I am only looking for a number and that is all.

Much more than you will ever know no way to get an accurate count since until 1968 gun control act took effect there was no registration of any guns.

There are no reliable sources, a conservative guess is about 2-3 million.There is no way to account for all the legal and illegal guns in the U.S. today.Even the legal ones are bout and sold, by both gun dealers and individuals. Individual sales are not recorded.

It is actually very difficult to determine, because there is a illegal market for weaponry as well as people who "hide" their guns.
However, the number should be at approximately 30-100+ Million.

Your best bet is try the BATF site. They have most of the records anyway.
