“But gun ownership is on decline” they lied
Forget the 300M usually bandied about. The number is now 423M.
Thanks, Obama.

I do what I am able.
You’re welcome 🙂

Son and I each bought one this month.

Well, lying is their thing. It goes without saying. It’s like going to Sodom and commenting on the sodomy.

That’s just back to 1986. Hell, most of mine are older than that. I would think that 50% higher than that would be realistic.

I think 423 million is low. Probably up above 500 million, maybe even as high as 600 million. Especially if you count things that aren’t legally firearms, but functionally are (muzzleloaders, cap and ball revolvers, firearms produced before 1898, etc.).
Thinking about what I have, fewer than half of the modern guns I own are post 1986. And if you count the muzzleloaders, fewer than a quarter.

Those are rookie numbers.

I wonder if these estimates are based on background checks. If so, I would think the number is much greater.

It’s production from 1986 forward, with imports, minus exports. It doesn’t account for guns destroyed, or guns produced prior to 1986.

dittybopper, in other words, TPTB don’t have a clue how many are out there, and are fuzzy on who has what. That alone scares the crap out of a tyrant.
This is good.

@rickn8or, and many of the unknown guns out there are probably scoped bolt actions–the very kind which should “scare the crap out of a tyrant”. They can protect themselves best by simply being good public servants and obeying the Bill of Rights, but I guess most of’em don’t have any do right in ’em.

Ron W, they can’t make as much money “being good public servants”.

@rickn8or, yep, I think you nailed it!
