The commonly accepted estimate is 300 million in private possession. This argues persuasively that it is 50-100% higher.

Interesting, in any event.
-
I will do my best to keep that number going in a positive direction. :tup:
-
Keep it climbing!

Wow, but I don't have ANY guns................. :chuckle:
-
To me what this proves is that it would be impossible to take away all guns. More likely to affect ownership competency and usage through ammo

:yeah: Eventually all the ammo will run out except black powder. :twocents: But there will always be options.

Are Rifles Used a Lot in Homicides?

It probably mirrors trust in government and media.

something I didn't see mentioned is the number of rifles/shotguns used in 'justifiable homicide' versus the total. The report only shows all homicides. I've heard estimates that about a third to half of all the rifle homicides are from some kind of police/agency. Example being SWAT teams or when police respond to situations where they have more time than just drawing the pistol.

I sold all of mine on November 30, 2014. I've felt vulnerable ever since.
-
Ive only started buying guns since Nov 30, 2014...
-
Purely coincidence, I'm quite sure.

As a born again sheep, I have accepted my government as my protector. All I need to defend my family is a telephone and a Gun Free Zone sign.

That's awesome! :tup:
Since this is addressed to liberals, spare me the usual nonsense about “Victim Blaming”. We don’t have time for silliness. If you’re banking on the goodwill of evil people to keep you safe, you are a sucker. If I urge you to look both ways before crossing the street, I’m not victim blaming, I’m trying to keep your stupid ass from getting hit by a bus.

I think the numbers are much higher.
No one has a clue how many firearm there is. I suspect there are millions that cannot be traced.
Even the secret service has guns missing.
All the more reason gun control will never work.
About the time you think ammo is all gone,someone will figure out another way to make them go bang.
That's in my opinion is why it is useless for anyone to spend time thinking gun control or bans will ever rid the world of guns.
Buy on.

Add another roughly 185K.

"...the rise of lawlessness in this country." Lawlessness, including murder, is still declining overall. Cop killings are certainly up this year but the rest of us continue to be safer.
