“Only” 16 million? I doubt that. Double, maybe. I’ve only got 3, myself. An AR10 and two AR15s. And a lower that I never got around to building.
““Only” 16 million?”
_______________________
I’m like you, LouAvul: I think someone’s counting very badly, or trying to keep the uninformed still uninformed.
It’s got to be at least double that amount.
And not everybody’s talking about what they own....including and up to the different types of ammo they have on hand.
If 16 million plus AR’s are in the hands of lawful citizens, why are there so Many stores being looted and owners beaten across the nation? Something unusual here, but I guess “ owning “ an AR ( or shotgun, handgun) is much , much different than using an AR. Maybe all the looting and burning will wake up the subjects of the leftist states? Me thinks by election time all this mayhem will only get worse....unless of course good people with firearms do the right thing- use them. Protecting your property and life IS justified, especially when your police and National a Guard retreat and run away. On that note: I have not read about much rioting in any “ Red” states.
