Estimates of AR15 ownership in USA?

[granitestater]

Would be easier to count/estimate the production capacity of upper recievers in order to estimate number of AR's cuz upper recievers have been selling out faster than any other component......

Most of the resellers are selling complete uppers as fast as they can manufacture and assemble....lowers have never been an issue....and people can easily roll their own from an 80%......

I want to see an 80$% upper reciever come to market.....

Pandora is out of the box.......Dem's might as well piss into a noreaster than try to ban AR's.....no way in hell the supreme court is going to go along with that....

That combined with the billion round backlog of orders that US ammo manufacturers have.........they're selling every round/component they can manufacture as fast as its produced

there is no need for an 80% upper because uppers are not serial numbered and not considered a firearm. No ffl needed.

1. They are the bottleneck currently for production
2. Due to fed gov recently having had to drop cases against individuals due to the AR lower failing to meet definition of "gun" the definition of which part of the AR needs to be serialized is going to have to be addressed by Congress at SOME point.....

with respect to 2, above, we have close to 50 years ( it wasn’t until the early 1970s that this letter ruling was mad). of ATF considering the lower to be the firearm which you might be interested to know is the opposite of the FN/FAL, where the upper is the firearm. In any event, if congress acts, a likely outcome is a change to the definition of frame or receiver to include what is an AR lower. The reason I say this is due to the amount of AR type rifles out there, in all calibers, it would make little to no sense to suddenly call the upper a firearom and if Congress were to say an uppper and lower combined... that would create a huge loophole because people would just by them separately and no FFL involvement at all.

This moonbat thinks between 15-16 million. These people are programmed robots and her kids (beginning of video) are prime examples. Imagine how much time is spent in her house talking about feelings.

Change my mind.

There were reasons Beto's campaign didn't go very far. This nonsense is just one of them.
