>From the DUF report. [quote]The Beat Goes On: In just the last three months of 2008, Americans bought 4.5 million firearms -- enough guns to outfit the entire Chinese and Indian army’s [sic] combined, and then some. You also bought 1.5 billion rounds of ammunition in just the single month of December 2008. Yeah that is right, that is billion with a “B”. This is an evaluation of overall firearms and ammunition purchases based on low end numbers per Federal NICS instacheck data base. The numbers presented are only PART of the overall numbers of arms and ammunition that have been sold. The actual numbers are much higher… http://www.ammoland.com/2009/04/22/usa-buys-enough-guns-in-3-months-to-outfit-the-entire-chinese-and-indian-army/ [/quote] And, most of those 4.5 million new purchases were of Evil Black Rifles. They are now certainly out there is such great numbers as to meet Heller's "common use" standard (if that's really a Constitutional criteria). Every gun owner that I know has a least one AR/AK/FAL-type weapon.
