There are about 100 million gun owners in the United States.

100 billion rounds would mean the average number of rounds each would be 1,000.

There are gun owners out there that a 1000 rounds of ammo per firearm would be the minimum.

Most gun owners probably own a .22 rifle and/or pistol. And you usually buy the ammo for that in small bricks of 500 or 550 rounds. When I first bought one of my little rifles, Federal had a box of 550 rounds of .22lr at Academy, for $16 or $18 each. Nowadays it's closer to $25 or $30 per 500 rounds, but you still generally buy them two or three thousand at a time. I would really guess the average gun owner has more than 1,000 rounds stored.
