If the conservative esitmate of legally owned firearms in the US is 355,029,250 what's the liberal estimate?

It’s an honest question.

There were 1,074,757 gun purchases through licensed FFL dealers last month. 9,076,205 for this year. Over a million a month.

And how do you gun banners propose getting all of them? And how do you explain that gun crime rate has been going down over the past couple decades? And why is it that the crime rate is higher in cities and state where regulation is strict compared to states with more lax laws?

And can you answer this one simple question:

Can you demonstrate one time or place, throughout all history, where the average person was made safer by restricting access to handheld weapons?

I don’t expect people to try and answer that question. Or answer it directly.
Only 17% of weapon that are taken from the drug cartels are traced back to the US.

The ATF has said the 90% of the guns that are given to them from Mexico to trace are from the US. But that is about 18% of the total guns recovered and most are handguns. The other 72% don’t have American markings or American serial numbers.
Therefore that 72% is never given to the ATF to trace because it is obvious they don’t come from America.
And before someone calls it out my mistake its 82% of the total seized guns that are known to not be American.

Guns Laws And What A Cop can Legally Do.?

OK this is a long story. I live in PA and I collect guns, mostly WW2 but I have an AR-15 and similar items in my collection. Sometimes I go to my aunts house for night shooting with tracers. (she has about 120 acres of land). Most recently I’ve been driving home from my part time 3rd shift job and I have to go throw DUI check points. Its only time until I’m coming home from my aunts with all my guns in my truck going threw a DUI check point. What should I tell them, Do they have the legal right to search my truck. Do I have to answer any questions they ask me. None of my guns are loaded but I do reload my clips at my aunts before I head home. I also have hi end mags. I have a truck so I can put the guns in the trunk. Do the cops have the right to handle my guns and look at the serial numbers. (I’m picky about people handleing my guns). I just don’t want any trouble but I know there are a few cops that would take advantage of the situation. BTW I’m 20 y/o with not a signal incident on my record and I purchased all my firearms threw license dealers. Let me know what you guys think because like I said its only time until it happens.

Why are there so many steps in purchasing a firearm, and so few in puchasing ammunition?

In order to buy a firearm legally in California you must first successfully complete a firearms safety course, go through an extensive background check, find a licensed firearm dealer and wait out what I believe is a two week waiting period for handguns. But anybody over the age of 18 can walk into just about any major sporting goods chains store a purchase ammunition on the spot. It seems to me that if firearms have serial numbers, then bullets and casings should have some identifying markings as well. Imagine if bullets and shell casings had some some identifying serial numbers laser etched into them. To be able to tie a bullet, to at lot number, to a piont of sale, to a bar code, to a drive’s license and maybe to a murder. Something etched on the inside of thr casing and the "tail" end of the bullet itself. True crimminals obtain firearms illegally as a matter of course, but dare I say very few of them load their own amunition. Bullets that could be trace back to the purchaser.
