There is a lot more at Ammo.com, such as estimates of the number of illegal guns, since criminals don’t like to register their guns. Ammo also looks into gun purchase trends (2020 was a huge year for gun sales). Most people buy guns for defense, and more so now than even six years ago [as Democrats make the country far less safe].
