Your figures are interesting.

I recently read an article that said there were 7.5 million legal firearms in France, and about twice that many illegal firearms.

Is the figure you cite for legal owners, or based on estimates of illegal ownership in France.

I would like to be correct about this on anything I write in the future.

Thanks

Actually you are correct, the 19m inc illegal arms. The site I took it from didn’t break it down, had to check others. My mistake. The figure IS 19m, but as you said it seems to be 7-8m legal and 10-12m illegal.
