    ATF: 423M guns in America, 1.2 per person, 8.1B rounds of ammunition a year

    Thought this was interesting



    New federal data shows that there are 422.9 million firearms in circulation, or about 1.2 guns for every person in the country.
    What’s more, despite years of criticism of modern “assault-style” rifles such as the AR-15 and AK-47, there are a record 17.7 million in private hands, proving that it is the most popular gun around.

    And last year alone, the arms industry produced 8.1 billion rounds of ammunition.

    I think we can do better if we all focus and double down.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other 11? - Yuri Orlov

    17.7 million MSR's. That should make the Libtards head explode.

    Now is that just rifles? Or does that include stripped lowes too??

    Do you identify with that movie?

    I saw another headline that there were enough 4473s on Friday for guns to re-arm the Marines.

    In the big picture I like stats like this because if guns were problem, we'd all be dead.

    On a personal level, I always laugh when they find some guy with an 'arsenal' in his car of three rifles, a couple of handguns and 1000 rounds. I call that a light range day. That and people have no idea how small of a space 1000 rounds takes.
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    We do ourselves no favors by calling semiauto rifles of any kind “modern sporting rifles”. Non of my personally owned carbines are for sporting purposes.
