    Default how many licenced firearms are there in south africa?

    Does anyone know how many licenced firearms there are in SA. ie what number of licences are currently in effect?
    And how many licenced firearm owners are there - ie how many people have a licence/s?
    further - what is the owner to firearm ratio?

    just curious

    disparate figures
    some have it as 4,5 million licensed firearms! some have it as 3 million licensed owners!
    I am studying an awesome brand of leg fighting which was inspired by dung beetles and I think my brand of Kraft Manure is superior to all other styles ever invented. Furthermore I challenge all other manurists to a rolling contest where we shall establish whose manure ball is the biggest! I shall call it Honest Kraft Manure and declare it superior to all other brands of manure and will tell you that I have claimed the lineage directly to Imshi the great Dragon Kru Master Beetler who invented manuring, by gathering all manure from different animals together and making it work as the worlds most effective fertilizer. I proved myself by being members of not one but three super elite special gardening departments who were responsible for spreading manure to combat weed infestations!

    ie - licenced firearm owners have an average of 1.5 firearms each?

    Figures I heard when the FCA started was 2.5 million owners with around 4.5 million firearms. What the figure is now after many handed in instead of relicensing is anyones guess.
