[Gunbuggy]

DID you read the OP? the numbers have nothing to do with the government

434 Million Firearms Manufactured for Private Ownership over Past 25 Years

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) indicates 434 million firearms were manufactured for private ownership over the last 25 years alone.

They are going by the number of firearms MANUFACTURED

Ahh. I guess I DID not read the OP and mistook MANUFACTURED with SOLD.
THANKS for your CLARIFICATION

I'm at the top of the hill in SW and my neighbor put the current President signs in a window facing the street and people have the funniest reactions since is a very liberal area. Did it just for the reaction response.

A lot of companies are actively involved in the importation of surplus guns. More now than ever it seems, since even the most basic rifles are over $200. Mosins for example could be bought for under $100 in 2014ish.

OK, but what does that have to do with gun manufactured in the last 25 years??

The numbers was Manufactured , not imported .

If you count imported surplus it will be much higher

The article states: "This means the whopping figure of 434 million includes firearms made in America for Americans and firearms made abroad then imported into America for Americans."

I don't think they can parse imported firearms into historic vs contemporary, so I'm 90% sure those numbers don't exclude surplus weapons.

As I understand it, there CAN'T be that many firearms, due to a surge in tragic boating accidents.

I am sure they are not included, foreign manufactures still have to report to ATF, so they can tell the difference new imports and surplus.

I wonder what the number since WW2 is.

Sometimes they evaporate.

Sadly.....many have been lost recently in boating accidents.

Aloha, Mark

And thus the reason water levels are rising, not global warming, it's boating accidents

Ok, good research, but incomplete. How many of those guns are no longer in the US because they were sold by the gov to gangs in Mexico?

Eric Holder and Barry Obama should have that number...

 

[nammac]

434 Million Firearms Manufactured for Private Ownership over Past 25 Years...

That's only 17.36M/year, on average... What are they lazy...

 

[albin25]

How many?....

....probably less than they'll actually claim, but more than they'll probably find ??

(Just a rough estimate though)
