Gun numbers have rapidly increased, 3D-printed firearms are routinely seized by police and one state is on the verge of enshrining a ‘right to hunt’ in law
I very much agree, the number of guns per licence in and of itself is not a concern. That said, I still believe that it’s a valuable statistic to track.
Legally owned/originally acquired guns are the ones that contribute to the grey-market, obviously, and acknowledging that the supply for that market is likely to grow is important to bare in mind.
I absolutely agree with the last statement as well, greater restrictions around semi-automatic and faster firing weapons has had the greatest impact on safety, regardless of the increase in guns per person.
