Thread: Gun Owners Buy 14 Million Plus Guns 14,033,824,000 billion+

I'm just trying to read the tea leaves... but this says allot and it's getting scary; even to an old veteran

That is 14,033,824,000 billion+ rounds of Ammo..you think that is why we have an Ammo shortage?

Gun Owners Buy 14 Million Plus Guns In 2009 – More Than 21 of the Worlds Standing Armies



Washington, DC --(AmmoLand.com)- Data released by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for the year reported 14,033,824 NICS Checks for the year of 2009, a 10 percent increase in gun purchases from the 12,709,023 reported in 2008.

So far that is roughly 14,000,000+ guns bought last year!
The total is probably more as many NICS background checks cover the purchase of more than one gun at a time by individuals.

To put it in perspective that is more guns than the combined active armies of the top 21 countries in the world. countries by number of troops

Of the NICS background checks preformed less than and average .005% were denied, showing, overwhelmingly, that law abiding American citizens are the ones buying guns and that criminals are getting their guns elsewhere.

14,033,824,000 billions rounds of Ammo

Assuming each gun buyer bought 1000 rounds of ammo for each purchase, and you and I know that it is way, way more than that, that would be easily 14,033,824,000+ billions rounds of ammo fired by USA gun owners.

What percent of people were killed or injured by this ammo…it is just to infinitesimally small for me to calculate?

Crime At Record Lows

This record year in firearms background checks show that Americans are solidly in-favor of exercising their civil right to Keep and Bear Arms.

In a year were crime has reached an all time record low what is plainly clear is that more guns equal LESS CRIME!

This is an evaluation of overall firearms and ammunition purchases based on low end numbers per Federal NIC instacheck data base Statistics. The numbers presented are only PART of the overall numbers of arms and ammunition that have been sold.

The actual numbers are much higher.

Darn right those figures are inaccurate. The government does not need to know how many home protection sources that are available.

If this is just the number of background checks, I can testify that one check is done for a number of guns purchased in that one transaction. Thus, I hope the number of weapons is really much higher. This should be a warning to the feds - the same fear the Japanese had during WW2 when they decided against invading our soil - "there will be a gun behind every blade of grass'.


That is, after all, the reason for the 2nd amend - to protect the citizens against an out of control govt. - Not sporting or hunting.
