Videos tagged with Firearm Ownership Statistics

This video discusses the estimated number of firearms legally owned by US citizens, citing data from the NSSF and ATF. It highlights that the known number of firearms is substantial, with specific figures provided for rifles, handguns, and shotguns made available for sale in 2021. The speaker emphasizes that these figures represent only the firearms that are known about, suggesting the actual total is higher.

This video analyzes the recent media narrative shift celebrating a significant drop in US homicides, contrasting it with previous claims that increased gun ownership leads to more crime. The speaker argues that the drop, occurring alongside record gun sales, contradicts the gun control lobby's stance and suggests a political motivation tied to the upcoming election. The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act is discussed as a legislative effort that the speaker believes did not contribute to the homicide reduction.

This video discusses the significant surge in firearm background checks on Black Friday, potentially setting a record. The speaker uses FBI data dating back to 1998 to counter arguments from gun control advocates, highlighting that background check numbers do not directly equate to firearm sales due to factors like concealed carry permits and NFA item registrations. The core argument is that the sheer volume and growth of civilian firearm ownership make confiscation or significant reduction impossible.

This video argues that the narrative of gun controllers is failing, citing statistics that show declining gun violence alongside increasing gun ownership. The speaker presents data from the Gun Violence Archive and The Trace, highlighting a 20% decrease in gun violence and nearly 60 million guns purchased between 2020-2022. An NBC News poll indicates record high gun ownership, contradicting the idea that more guns lead to more violence.

This video discusses the practicalities and likelihood of widespread gun confiscation in the United States. It argues that due to the sheer number of firearms owned by civilians (estimated at 400 million), the lack of a federal gun registry, and cultural resistance, large-scale confiscation is highly impractical. The discussion also touches on the potential for registration schemes and selective enforcement of future bans as more realistic threats to firearm ownership.

This video debunks the claim that more guns equal more violence by analyzing ATF statistical data. The speaker argues that despite a significant increase in firearm ownership and manufacturing since the 1980s, violent crime rates have actually decreased. The analysis highlights that the premise of gun control arguments is flawed when examined against empirical data, suggesting that increased gun ownership may lead to fewer potential victims rather than more crime.

This video from Guns & Gadgets analyzes reports on America's most heavily armed states, ranking them by firearms per 1,000 residents using ATF and US Census Bureau data. It highlights significant variations in legal firearm ownership across states, with Wyoming and Washington D.C. topping the list due to lower populations inflating per capita numbers, while states like New York and Rhode Island rank lowest. The analysis aims to provide a clearer picture of firearm distribution beyond media narratives.
