theres an estimated 100-120million gun owners in the US. in the last year the FBI recorded nearly 10 million new gun owners, that is 10million people who did their very first background check to buy a gun (and this can include multiple gun sales). that does NOT include those who bought via private sales or built their own from 80% kits or from scratch. there is an estimate of 400-500million firearms in circulation in the US, half of the entire worlds small arms combined.

in this last year you had literally everyone buying guns from all political, racial and class leanings. literally everyone is strapped. the genie is out, pandoras box is open and dogs and cats are living together.

gun control is a moot point and one that can be helped via other means that would make everyones lives easier rather than further pecking away at their constitutional rights.
