    The number of firearms that have been imported into the US over the yrs!

        Switzerland: 100,000 weapons, 2-3 million rounds of ammo
        Try and find some GP11 for less than $1.50 a rd. these days.

        Greece: 50,000 weapons, only a little ammunition
        I guess we can thank CMP for the HXP we all bought.
