The Senate just voted to cut federal funding for the news organization I worked at for 25 years. It only has itself to blame.

  • Data indicates that 28,144,000 Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) are in circulation since 1990.
  • MSR production increased 32 percent from 2020 to 2021. This increased the estimated amount of MSRs produced (since 1990) by 15 percent from 24.4 million to 28.1 million.
  • In 2021, 21,037,810 total firearms were made available for the U.S. market, which includes firearms that were domestically produced plus those imported, minus exported firearms. Of those, 12,799,067 were handguns, 4,832,198 were rifles and 3,406,545 were shotguns.

473.2 million. Hmmm…I wonder if those single barrel 12 gages got included that I inherited…or those .38’s or those….😀

I reckon that most of Them Datums post-date the GFA68. My guess is, the longer the firearm has been in your family tree and the older it is, the less likely that there's much record of it past manufacturer's build data and serial number records.


I also wonder what allowances are made for weapons which were lost or destroyed.
