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 |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
