“one gun in a million”
Great way to frame the debate. However, the ratio is even smaller, as you’d need to quantify the total number of guns in existence over the last 50 years.
IOW - there are ~300 million now - but how many have been “decommissioned” over the last 50 years? Another 50-100 million?

Here is an attempt to come up with that number. Good reason to believe it is much, much smaller.
