Guns in America Use and Ownership Across the Nation
A spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation estimates there are more than 100 million guns in the United States. About 20 to 25 million people engage in recreational shooting, with 15 to 17 million hunters licensed. Census figures show 1963 firearm shipments near 1.97 million with rifles and shotguns dominating, while 1965 imports and ammunition sales are noted. Ownership is widespread, especially in rural areas, and industry spokesmen support targeted laws to curb crime while acknowledging loopholes.
