I agree that the figures are probably way off and quite possibly way low. That's one of the reasons gun control would be almost impossible if not totally impossible. That is unless it comes to be by way of the slippery slope. That's one reason gun owners like myself don't want to give even a inch. Because a inch becomes a foot and a foot becomes a yard and a yard becomes a mile.
I disagreed with the location of said guns on that chart as much as I do the number though. They have no way of knowing where the guns actually are . I will use myself as a example. I started out in Iowa, moved to Oklahoma and took a few guns when I did. After buying selling and trading I ended up moving back to Iowa 10 years later, bringing even more guns with me on that move. So any guns that were purchased there and assumed to be in that state are now gone from there. Now multiply that by thousands of people and many different states and whammo, no one knows where the guns are. I just find that chart to be unreliable.
