Did anyone else read this article in the Lowell Sun yesterday and scratch their heads like I did?

I'm surprised at the figures quoted. The gun safety class I took prior to getting my LTC was SRO and I thought the number of gun owners in the state was on the uptick.
There's a really interesting quote from Jim Wallace of GOAL:
"...Wallace said that prior to the state Gun Control Act of 1998, there were 1.5 million gun owners in the state. That number is down to 242,328 -- an 84 percent drop.
"Where did all those people go?" he said. "The state doesn't want to talk about that. To some extent, it may be one of the greatest acts of civil disobedience we've seen in a long time." "
