This says an average of 17 guns each, that's believable.  So, what is the solution then?

How many people need 17 guns? Does a country need 111,000,000 handguns?

I don't think that I am in a position to nor want to tell anyone else how many of anything they should have, including guns.

-and there's no need to.  Announce and fund a buyback of firearms that fit each states trace data and you're going to reduce the pool of firearms that actually are a problem as opposed to telling people what property they do or don't need and how much of x they can have.  

You mentioned that you have a hundgun in the pawn shop?  Well..if you tell some redneck in alabama that the gov-mint is coming to take his guns he may bury them.  If you tell that same redneck that the government is paying for old guns he'll be out with a metal detector trying to find other peoples buried stashes for purpose of sale.

So there is nothing else that can be done besides making laws about the number of guns you can own? Please, that is absurd.

If the number is greater than zero, why does any number beyond that make any difference? Because of thievery?

and/or lock down corridor states with interstate trafficking laws so that producer states have no market in consumer states (also in the trace data).  Producer and consumer, here, is specific and not an issue of first point of sale from manufacturer but rather noticeable trends in p2p interstate transfers.

The Rule of So states that when a sentence referring to another poster begins with "So..." it should be examined closely for a strawman argument.

Yep, you are correct.  Also, saying that my position is to "Sit quietly with folded hands"  is a strawman.

I suspect that total includes guns which are no longer serviceable.  If you take the total sales and don't calculate the replacement rate you end up with an inflated total.

Of course, it probably doesn't reflect the numbers of guns that are stolen from L-ARGOs and then replaced.
