There is no way to answer that, since there is no registration of ordinary firearms in all 50 states. Semi-automatic guns are not new- they have been made for over 100 years. It is ESTIMATED that there are between 270 million and 310 million privately owned rifles, shotguns and handguns in the US. The number of semi-autos is likely close to 50-75 million.
There are semiautomatic guns (pull of trigger fires one shot) and fully automatic guns (pulling trigger ONCE fires more than one shot) Semiautomatic guns are legal in almost every place in the US. Fully automatic guns are restricted in a few states, but can be owned in others IF the gun is registered with the Federal BATFE, and a one time $200 tax paid on the transfer of ownership. LEGAL fully automatic guns are VERY expensive, with cost starting at about $2,000, and quickly going up. Guns such as an original Thompson submachinegun may sell for $20,000 or more.
