All those “refugees” buying guns?

All they need is a drivers licence and a work permit?If that?

So when do we have the Big Turkey choot? Has Biden set a date?

Personal protection has historically been the reason Americans give for owning guns, with a Gallup poll from 2013 showcasing that as the top reason at a response rate of 60%. Hunting was second at 36%, while recreation or sport was third at 13%.

When will the survey show the intended purpose of the 2A?

Of course, those people don’t answer the survey.

In 10 years, the Boomers who own 20-25 % of these 500 million, will have started to pass on these inventories to the next generation, who aren't as enthused or as invested in hunting and self-defense as we were.

That is what the globalists are counting on.

And those are just the NICS checks. No data whatsoever on private sales. Here in the Peoples Republic of Nuevo Mexico, all transfers of firearms require a NICS and have since July 1, 2019. Hasn’t reduced shootings, but has made it more difficult to keep things off the radar. There are some exceptions to the rule. Family transfers and transfers between law enforcement don’t have to have the NICS check here. Nice how they carve out an exception for the praetorian guards.

Wow, impressive. Now I’m going to have to buy more to keep up my Owner/guns ratio. Also, all those new gun owners need ammo iow, ammo prices go up. But that’s a good reason.

Excellent! Well done people! I knew if we showed a little dedication we could achieve this milestone. Let’s see how quickly we can get drive it up to over a billion privately owned firearms in America.

I’m doing my part.

“The total of privately owned guns in the United States is estimated to have passed 500 million”

That’s not nearly enough!

I suspect more firearms will be purchased over the next few weeks as Christmas gifts. Also, many firearms stores have end of the year inventory sales where some good deals are to be found. Our area’s oldest gun store has a great sale every year during the week after Christmas that many look forward to each year. The only problem is that you can’t find a parking spot and can barely get in the door or walk through the aisles it is so crowded during that event.

People are not going to give up their guns. In fact, many are adding to their collection while they still can.

The total of privately owned guns in the United States is estimated to have passed 500 million after gun sales for the month of October were the third-highest on record.

That are the ones they know about! It wasn't until recently the feds started rapid background checks. There was a time you could order one from a Sears or Wards catalog!

because of that there could be almost Twice that many out there!

If 500 million firearms in the hands of American citizens was the threat the gun control advocates claim, ever single American city, of any size, would be seeing a huge amount gun violence carnage in the streets everyday. The fact that the vast majority of those 500 million firearms are not involved in crime or gun violance says the “more gun control” advocates are just plain wrong.

Not that I would EVER recommend making your own untraceable firearms there are some FANTASTIC Black Friday deals at CBC Precision, Thunder Tactical, and Polymer 80. But don’t do that because the government needs to know which citizens have firearms for our own protection. Even Joe Biden says they should be illegal.

The number of firearms in private hands in America IS NOT KNOWABLE. Anyone who offers a precise number IS LYING.
