The numbers are so bogus it makes me laugh. Nearly 30 million background checks and they claim only 16 million sold. Multiple guns can be purchased on a single background check. Also, CWP holders don't have a check run for purchases because they are pre-checked. The government wants Americans to believe there are only 400 million guns owned by citizens. In 1990 there were 650 million and it was projected to be 1 billion by 2000. So, I guess all those guns just evaporated. US citizens own enough guns to arm every country on the planet and that really terrifies the Cabal.
