I’m a little confused. The article says that the number of guns in America has increased by about 10 million per year, every year, since 1990. That would mean 250 million new guns since 1990. Does that mean that prior to 1990, there were only 50 million guns in America, or that there’s a whole lot more than 300 million today?

No, purchases of firearms barely keep up with the losses from canoe accidents; these accidents and resulting losses of firearms are reported continuously on FR.
