As the nation reels from the deaths of at least 34 people in three mass shootings within a week in Gilroy, California; El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, debates about guns are heating up.
The recent spate of shootings and others before them have the Second Amendment, gun laws and gun control, including the number of guns in the United States, coming under fire.
How many guns are in America and, specifically, in Michigan? Those are hard numbers to pin down.
“It’s a patchwork of data that is incomplete,” said Dave Chipman, a senior policy adviser with Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, who is originally from metro Detroit and spent 25 years as an ATF special agent.

You don't have a right to "know" ANYTHING about private individuals' lawful possession of arms.
You have the right to seek information, but you have no right to "know". |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
