Join the NRA! They are the only organization strong enough to fight the grabbers. Watch out for credit institutions that restrict firearm purchases, ammunition restrictions, local ordinances, registration efforts, private sale restrictions and other roundabout methods of restricting our Right to keep and bear arms

"At the end of 2017, the Small Arms Survey estimated the U.S.A. had 46% of privately owned firearms in the world."

Are we confused, yet? ;-)

A gun lost in a body of water usually becomes inoperable.

Ahem - all of you careless FReepers who stood up in the canoe while your priceless collection of 50 or so guns were in the deepest part of the lake - take note.

I figure about 1500 rds/year.

If I take special training, add another 700 rds.

The United States accounted for 60 percent of the total global increase.

And that is why the 2A is so important.

Thanks for the ping Procon.

“Very few guns are worn out from firing them” I have a Russian Rifle made in 1897, That means it was produced during the reign of Czar Nicholas, before communism.

It went through the revolution, the 1st world war, the winter war, the 2nd world war... God only knows how many wars.

I found it in Tx for $100

Its rifling is still strong but frosted due to the corrosive ammo

I have a Rockola M1 carbine that needs a new barrel, I found it in Tx for $300

I could use freeper advice, I’ve never personally owned an AR for various reasons. I’m wanting a plinking rifle, was originally going to buy a 10mm carbine as I could supply ammo for years out of my stash of components. I’ll probably never reload rifle ammo but I could easily aquire a few thousand .223 rounds to squirrel away.

An AR looks like it might be fun but Ruger is supposed to be releasing camp carbine in 10mm that will take my Glock magazines. Decisions, decisions. But I’m willing to do my part to get to 50 percent.

The survey doesn’t take into consideration people in counties with severe restrictions on gun ownership who will never tell if they a gun, and the same goes for America. I am sure that there are a lot more commercially manufacture small arms out there than anyone knows. Guns that were purchased decades and decades ago and past down in families that are not recorded anywhere!

I would suspect that if the true number were known it would be closer to 50 %.
