Firearms getting to be harder to find? Or is that guts?

Read a couple of news blurbs that "Firearms dealers are having a hard time keeping inventories".at a few of my best sources.

To that I would say "Really?"

America is awash in firearms, the last estimates were that the there were 200 million firearms in America in private hands. That is an amazing number and also illustrative of one of the problems in America, we have plenty of tools, they jsut aren't being used. A sort of "If five are good, ten is better" way of thinking.

When was the last time one of even five were used at the range or just plinking with some friends? Or even carried?

No lack of firearms availabliity is not a problem, lack of a willingness to use the ones that are out in private hands is, that boils down to a lack of guts, or desire or maybe both, either way the effect is the same.

I do have to wonder how many folks even bought a hunting license or even tested the ones that already DO have in the last year?
