I'm pretty sure through out the country, the same holds true for people who own guns for "many years" (before strict registration laws) just for protection. And since they never take the gun(s) out of the house, those guns remain unregistered.
It goes without saying, criminals & many outlaws with guns are not on that chart either!
Plus we have to remember that many states, like Iowa are not required to register firearms at all. The paperwork [4473] that is filled out at the time of the purchase is just filed away in the dealers store and after 20 years can be thrown away. There is no mandatory registration in many states. I own , well lets just say enough and the government knows about none of them. So I don't know where that guy came up with his figures.
