But gun ownership is on the decline
The NSSF has some interesting numbers for us:
The estimated total number of firearms in civilian possession from 1986-2018 is 422.9 million, according to data reported in the ATFs Firearms Commerce Report in the United States 2019 report and including the preliminary 2018 Annual Firearms Manufacturing and Exportation Report (AFMER) figures.
17,740,000 Modern Sporting Rifles are in private ownership today. (Those are rookie numbers – Ed.)
More than half (54%) of all rifles produced in 2017 were modern sporting rifles. (much better – Ed.)
I don’t know who this Ed guy is.

Tell that Ed guy I am taking donations to increase that 17 million-and-change number. The more money I get the more it goes up 😉
