#1 Given the recent increase in Homemade. I am sure the Fed's number is way off. Plus the many "public" commissioned surveys, and the mandated annual doctor mental health firearm questions, also result in the opposite of actual factual numbers .

The LSD's & RINO's only really hope is the total control and regulation of ammo and reloading supplies.

However, Muzzle Loader / Fireworks grade Black Powder is easy enough to make. eg. skylighter.com 10lbs for $70+/-.

#4 BRYAN CAPLAN:

But in a strange sense, both gun control and prohibition grow out of softness. A system with the moral courage to harshly, swiftly, and surely punish violence would have little need of gun control. A system with the moral courage to harshly, swiftly, and surely punish abusers for stealing, trespassing, vandalizing, and defiling would have little need of prohibition. In both cases, we haphazardly punish millions of innocents because we refuse to decisively punish thousands of clear-cut criminals.
