USA Gun Owners Buy 14 Million Plus Guns In 2009 ? More Than 21 of the Worlds Standing Armies Combined
That is 14,033,824,000 billion+ rounds of Ammo..you think that is why we have an Ammo shortage?<DIV style="WIDTH: 405px" id=attachment_23604 class="wp-caption aligncenter"> <P class=wp-caption-text>Total NICS Gun Buyer Background Checks 2009</DIV><DIV style="WIDTH: 235px" id=attachment_22661 class="wp-caption alignleft"> <P class=wp-caption-text>AmmoLand Gun News</DIV>

Washington, DC --(AmmoLand.com)- Data released by the FBI?s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for the year reported 14,033,824 NICS Checks for the year of 2009, a 10 percent increase in gun purchases from the 12,709,023 reported in 2008.

So far that is roughly 14,000,000+ guns bought last year!
The total is probably more as many NICS background checks cover the purchase of more than one gun at a time by individuals.<BLOCKQUOTE>

To put it in perspective that is more guns than the combined active armies of the top 21 countries in the world. countries by number of troops</BLOCKQUOTE>

Of the NICS background checks preformed less than and average .005% were denied, showing, overwhelmingly, that law abiding American citizens are the ones buying guns and that criminals are getting their guns elsewhere.

14,033,824,000 billions rounds of Ammo
Assuming each gun buyer bought 1000 rounds of ammo for each purchase, and you and I know that it is way, way more than that, that would be easily 14,033,824,000+ billions rounds of ammo fired by USA gun owners.

What percent of people were killed or injured by this ammo?it is just to infinitesimally small for me to calculate?

Crime At Record Lows
This record year in firearms background checks show that Americans are solidly in-favor of exercising their civil right to Keep and Bear Arms.

In a year were crime has reached an all time record low what is plainly clear is that more guns equal LESS CRIME!
