16 million guns were legally purchased in 2022 👍

[Missourian]

Not a record year...but number three all time I believe.

"Guns transferred or bought by concealed carry permit holders in states where permits allow individuals to forgo NICS checks at point of purchase are not included in the 16,425,484 sales figure. Therefore, the actual number of gun sales for 2022 may actually be much higher."

Don't forget the $84 billion in weapons and military equipment Biden turned over to the Taliban...which ended up in Iran, Russia, China, and on eBay. Or how about the $100 billion Biden gave to Ukraine.

Gun ownership is a good idea....but.....
Worshiping at the alter of the bullet?

Live by the bullet....die by the bullet.

Not if you are sane enough, stable enough, and keep yourself well-trained enough to protect yourself in-the-moment, when police are 10 minutes away and by Supreme Court ruling, not under any obligation to protect, anyway.

I can think of worse ways to go.

Gun ownership is NOT a good idea you say ????

I guess I was thinking of gangs and hunters who get shot by other hunters mostly. Happens often.
It's more of a karma thing.
It's just an old cliche..."live by the sword"......

Right. I did not undergo a background check for any of the guns I bought last year.

I wonder how many (guns) were privately (ahem) manufactured. That's the more interesting number. No different than carving a stick and fire hardening its sharpened tip. I hear 3D printers are selling like garden gnomes . . . all across the once free world.

You misunderstood what he was emphasizing. Read it again. First line was "gun ownership a good idea.., but "

Last line was live by the bullet die by the bullet. This is not the writing of someone enthusiastic of people defending themselves (as necessary) legally owned, maintained and carried firearms.

I on the other hand own several weapon, by type. All in the house, loaded and secured, with extra ammo close to the weapon, including extra loaded magazines. I am well trained (also have trained other), and do range practice on a regular basis and not only carry as constitution, but am fully schooled, background checked, qualified and with carry permit signed off by the State of Tennessee as well as the Department of Homeland Defense and have been for years, good for 30 plus states.

My PPQ M2 service size (15+1), in my shoulder holster with 2 extra magazines is more important to me than American Express. I don't leave home much without it much, and never at night, unless flying.

Dude that ain't right! Those things represent death! My great grandfather died in a Nazi concentration camp.

He was drunk and fell out of a guard tower.
