Interesting though, I was not aware gun ownership was deemed "down" since sales are very high and, enough so that the price of an AR doubled for a bit, and a lot of popular ammo like 22lr and 9mm was very difficult to find for a while.

But I must admit that is very likely to be because of gun owners stocking up in case guns and ammo become harder to get, which I think is inevitable. I don't think it's good or right but it does seem to be the aim of the powers that be to disarm the law abiding public and right and good have never been an obstacle for them.
