No one knows exactly- US law, and most state laws do NOT require registration of ordinary firearms. In 1994, a survey estimated that roughly 16% of the adults in the US owned at least one handgun. That would equal roughly 49.6 million persons that own a handgun. My personal belief is that the number is higher, since gun ownership has increased sharply over the past few years.

Why America allowed people to buy real gun?

Because we are a free nation and have rights. Many people use the guns for protection, hunting for food, killing snakes or other animals in and around their homes. Guns are not bad. Stupid people who don't know how to use a gun, or bad people who want to harm others with guns, or dumb people that allow children access to guns are the real problems.
