I suspect that total includes guns which are no longer serviceable.
Quote:Of course, it probably doesn't reflect the numbers of guns that are stolen from L-ARGOs and then replaced.
The irony of someone stealing one of many many non functional firearms has occurred to me...only semi related, I know.
Related though, to patterns of purchase and ownership..and from that same survey...people now say that they buy guns explicitly for protection against other people when./.in the 90's,,the number one reason was target shooting and hunting....even as violent crime continues to crater over the same time period. Also, that the number of guns goes up but gun ownership rates are in decline..with men declining to be gun owners more and more and women making gains. Pistols are being marketed to the ladies, hard.
