I think that's supposed to read "3.2M AR-15s in NES members' safes."
I'm wondering how much .223 and 5.56 is out there, I think it's an impressive number.

read an article yesterday that one online shop sold 30,000 AR15s in the days after Orlando. I'll see if I can track that down.
EDIT
Here it is

Whatever the true number is, my reply would still be "not enough".
Ammo is staggering amounts.. Its hard to falthom just how much ammo is made and sold...I'm wondering how much .223 and 5.56 is out there, I think it's an impressive number.
The NICS check is for long guns, handguns or frames (other). The make and model is on the 4473 which stays with the dealer. No way that anyone can come up with a number. Maybe they just took a guess. Jack.
Yet, none of them killed anyone today.
Where is CNN for that breaking news??
Too bad. Low numbers don't help us with the "common use" nonsense.
Please remember that the AR-15 has been available for purchase since 1963. Guardian data only goes back to 2000. Other data sited is most likely also incomplete. This, of course, does not count the complete your own receivers. I'm not sure that 50% of gun owners have an AR-15, but I'm sure many gun owners have more than one.
I wonder what the success rate is in converting 80% lowers. Some must get screwed up beyond usability, and others are still sitting in various nooks and crannies.I own one that went on a 4437, The rest are from 80% lowers. I still have two more that are not milled yet.
I would like to know how many 80% lowers were made just by Tactical Machining. Add in the other 80% makers
and then you might get a more accurate number of ARs out there.

Well I feel these numbers are very disturbing. Wikipedia has North Korea as having a total military number of 7.6 million. There needs to be a lot more buying going on. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_military_and_paramilitary_personnel
