They dont take into account the number of firearms that are in private hands prior to 1986, I wouldnt be surprised if its at least double that number.

Some jackass from New York has been running TV ads here in the Florida Panhandle. He is running for president.
Attacking gun owners, the NRA etc. Rather stupid as that will not go over well here. He apparently has plenty of money to waste.

That jackass is probably the one backed by the Tampa law firm Morgan *hic* Morgan

Also, since the time span used to come up with the 423 million firearms only began at 1986, the figure is almost certainly on the low end. For instance, my 1930’s era Mosin-Nagant is not included in that figure.

I have at least...uh, well, a
few that I owned, purchased by me, much prior to 1986, not to mention those that I have inherited from my father, two uncles and a grandfather, prior to 1986.
I won't reveal the exact number, but if there at least 1/3 the amount of folks out there in my shoes, the number they cite in this report would probably double.
If not more.
Suck it, libs.
Trigger that.

And thats just in Texas.You're probably closer to the truth than some would realize Jim!

I saw a great meme that said over 400 million gun owners in America, if we were the problem, youd know it.

I would never own a gob of firearms, but if I did they were mostly made well before 1986.
To: deoetdoctrinae
With a single exception, every gun I own was made before 1986.

Yeah, but how much AMMO do you have?
Guns without ammunition are clubs.

If you can’t get ammo in a timely fashion, those weapons are useless. They’re expensive paperweights.

Yeah, but how much AMMO do you have?Just posted a short article calling for NO defense action on Walmart property for ANYONE until they reverse the cessation of handgun ammo sales.
