The Stock and Flow of U.S. Firearms: Results from the 2015 National Firearms Survey
Since the mid-1990s, the U.S. civilian gun stock has grown from approximately 192 million (65 million handguns) to approximately 265 million (113 million handguns). In 2015, gun owners owned more weapons and were more likely to own both handguns and long guns than in 1994. As in 1994, ownership in 2015 was highly concentrated: the median owner owned two, but the 8 percent of all owners who owned ten or more accounted for 39 percent of the stock. Approximately seventy million firearms changed hands within the past five years (from 2011 to 2015); most were purchased. Two and a half percent of Americans had guns stolen within the past five years, accounting for an estimated five hundred thousand guns per year.

From a Taller Tower
We, as a nation, have become desensitized to the shock and pain
in the wake of mass shootings. In the bottomless silence between
gunshots, as political stalemate ensures inaction, the killing
continues; the dying continues. From a Taller Tower
attends to the silence that has left us empty in the aftermath of
these atrocities. Veteran journalist Seamus McGraw chronicles the
rise of the mass shooter to dismantle the myths we have constructed
around the murderers and ourselves.
In 1966, America's first mass shooter, from atop the University
of Texas tower, unleashed a new reality: the fear that any of us
may be targeted by a killer, and the complicity we bear in granting
these murderers the fame or infamy they crave. Addressing
individual cases in the epidemic that began in Austin, From a
Taller Tower bluntly confronts our obsession with the
shooters-and explores the isolation, narcissism, and sense of
victimhood that fan their obsessions. Drawing on the experiences of
survivors and first responders as well as the knowledge of mental
health experts, McGraw challenges the notion of the \"good guy with
a gun,\" the idolization of guns (including his own), and the
reliability of traumatized memory. Yet in this terrible history,
McGraw reminds us of the humanity that can stop the killing and the
dying.
