The population of the US is roughly 321 million, so 3% of that would be 9,630,000.  The study estimates 245,000,000 guns, so 50% of that would be 122,500,000.  So, 122,500,000 guns divided by 9,630,000 people gives you about 13 guns per person.   Even at 300,000,000 guns that is only 16 guns for that 3%.  Neither number is all that crazy.  

the last thing I read day before yesterday, the ATF says we have two guns per citizen which would be somewhere around 600 million guns.

I am going by what this study stated since that is the topic of the OP, but if you have other information feel free provide it.  Since you read it there should be a way to link it for the rest of us.
