Did you know there are 1.5 million suppressors + 638K machine guns in circulation?
As a “stamp collector” myself, I enjoy covering National Firearm Act trends. The past few years, the trend has been high. In fact, there are more of these items– suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, AOWs, machine guns and destructive devices– in legal, registered circulation, than at any time since the registry started in 1934.
The number of NFA items saw a spike last year — including a 10 percent bump in suppressors and 16 percent rise in the short-barreled rifles registered — according to new data released by federal regulators. Now in the wild are:
-2.8 million Destructive Devices (grenades, artillery, shells bigger than .50 cal, Molotovs, etc)
-1.5 million Suppressors
-638,260 Machine guns of all sorts
-345,323 SBRs
-149,866 SBSs
– 60,706 AOWs (things like pen guns)
