Quite wild estimates, possibly 450,000 people own guns, registered guns 178,000, so the number of registered guns per 100 people is 1.94.
so more or less for every 1 guns that is registered, there are 2 that aren't, sounds about right.

Gun homocides, is high? About 29 people per week killed by guns.

2010: 1,6187
2009: 1,651
2008: 1,797
2006: 1,16410
2005: 1,543

I still stick my guns ( pun intended) that not a lot of people wander the streets with guns, in home guns is a little different I think.

Are these numbers high or low?

I find it hard to believe that 5 out of every 100 people own a gun. I wonder where they get their info if only 178,000 are registered.
