This is inarguable proof that no link exists between gun ownership and gun violence. With that many guns, we should see pure chaos and violence every day.
A report from the National Sports Shooting Foundation (NSSF) shows the number of firearms in civilian possession topped 490 million in 2022.
According to the NSSF, “The estimated total number of firearms in civilian possession from 1990-2022 is 491.3 million.”
Moreover, the NSSF pointed out more than ten million firearms were domestically produced in 2022 alone. The domestically-produced firearms, combined with those which were imported, resulted in “16,045,911 total firearms were made available for the U.S. market” in 2022.
Handguns dominate the firearms available in the U.S. market.
