I am suspicious of that survey since like many people they quote the easily disproved number of "300 million". Oh, and of course, since we are talking gun owners and nosy liberals, we KNOW the numbers are low!
Of that 300 million (more than likely 400) firearms in the U.S. about 25% might be able to be traced. The rest have had their trail of ownership broken.
I've seen a good argument that is is more likely north of 600 million; in the last 30 years alone, 300 millions guns have been made or imported for private use. Since that doesn't count a centuries' worth of previous production, even 400 million is low.

What lies past "Many"? "Almost - but not quite - sufficiency."
ReplyDeleteLike Rockefeller said when asked how much was enough: "Just a few more"

ReplyDeleteThat article inspired me to do a 100 percent audit.
ReplyDeleteIf you count lowers, I may have a problem.
