I very much agree, the number of guns per licence in and of itself is not a concern. That said, I still believe that it’s a valuable statistic to track.

Legally owned/originally acquired guns are the ones that contribute to the grey-market, obviously, and acknowledging that the supply for that market is likely to grow is important to bare in mind.

I absolutely agree with the last statement as well, greater restrictions around semi-automatic and faster firing weapons has had the greatest impact on safety, regardless of the increase in guns per person.

I’d never heard of it, but I appreciate your comment, thank you.

I would love to see similar projects rolled out globally. I don’t think we quite understand how much data can be and is being collected by our local agencies, and how much that puts us at risk.
