According to the Switzerland-based Small Arms Survey, there are over 393 million buns owned by American civilians — that’s 120 guns for every 100 citizens — men, women, and children. In 2018, the arms industry produced 8.1 billion rounds of ammunition. Every time someone even mildly suggests that we need better background checks, training requirements, better enforcement of gun safety laws, let along suggestions that certain kinds be banned or restricted, more guns and ammo are sold. The arms industry is happy. They haven’t stopped to realize that every child killed is one less customer for them in 15 years.
