johnston: that {5 country gun estimate} is only the registered guns

The tapdance cometh; however, wrong again batman, reg'd guns are less and included:

Finland, link in previous post, gunpolicy: Number of Privately Owned Firearms The estimated total number of guns held by civilians in Finland is 2,400,000
Number of Registered Firearms The number of registered guns in Finland is reported to be 1,580,000

Norway: Number of Privately Owned Firearms The estimated total number of guns held by civilians in Norway is 1,320,000
Number of Registered Firearms The number of registered guns in Norway is reported to be 1,229,436


johnston: Germany estimates there are four unregistered guns for every registered gun. Australia estimates only 20 percent of semi automatics and pump actions were turned in.

So rather than cite 'other' guns in any of the 5 countries, johnston cites germany & australia. What about uganda, any stats?
Well johnston, this specious nitpicking of yours has gone on long enough, other guns wouldn't've added appreciably to the country's total guns; sure there might be extra added illicit guns but for my comparative armed to the gizzard remark, citing the number of privately owned guns was close enough for intents & purpose.
Apology or retraction due, but not expected, just more tapdance.
