I've always wondered why we're drowning in projectile weapons but there are restrictions on stun guns, and I could be arrested in my state for carrying a switchblade.
By projectile weapons I am assuming you mean firearms? While there is no 100% accurate accounting it is estimated that the US accounts for about 45% of the privately held firearms or about 1.2 for every person in the US. Like a lot of things firearms fall into several categories collector, hunter, target shooter, self defense....... I have a number of antique firearms that I would never consider firing they are part of a collection, some are family heirlooms and some are decor items. Some people collect guns others collect cars, why does one need 15, 20.... vehicles? Some collect tanks (Jacques Littlefield), other people collect other things: coins, cards, comics................
Stun guns really don't fall into the same category as they basically have one purpose which is self defense although there are probably a few other bizarre uses.
