Gun numbers.. all military VS US

Saw this image on facebook. I was wondering how true it was. According to Wikipedia it is right on. I'm sure the military has most of the "black" rifles though...and probably 99 point something percent of the fully auto guns as well. But even so..... in the US... the public is well armed. ...

The experiment in site management that failed.

I tried to see if I could coax guests to post by requiring membership in the message board to read the forum material.
