They were on a very tight schedule already. Oversight on how difficult it would be to disarm USA had pushed that stage to the brink before they were surprised with Warp Speed (and you can see why the guns were supposed to go first).
There are at least as many legacy weapons as there are registered. The loss rate on weapons is very low. They dont simply disintegrate and they arent being turned in. How many millions have been made since the modern rifle came into widespread use? I know people with 10 or 20 of these guns passed down through the generations. I dont know many households here in Michigan that dont have grandpas deer rifle and duck gun in the back of the closet.
Ammo will always be the driving factor though but go try and buy that for the last 6 years but especially the last three.
When considering how America is armed, bows and crossbows should also be taken into account. There are millions of these in Michigan where archery deer is just as big as gun deer.
Here is a math problem for everybody. In the 1990's there were over 600 million guns in the US. Add nearly 30 years of record production to that and how does the gov't get to current numbers.
In the 1980's I purchased a rifle from 1906 and it was not considered a firearm by the gov't due to its age.

This probably isn't counting all the guns lost in boating accidents, either.

Poofreading is a waist of thyme
Lol… try to but must have been in a hurry. Been putting in a lot of hours at my business and catch time here as often as I can… Hate wasting Herbs …
400 million they know about.
600 million they have no clue about.
And well in excess of a few hundred billion rounds of ammunition, all in private hands.
