"More than 1 million civilian guns were stolen over the same period, according to FBI records."

"An NBC Bay Area investigation into the loss and theft of police firearms uncovered more than 500 weapons have gone missing from eight different law enforcement agencies, including the California Highway Patrol, the federal Drug Enforcement Administration and six local departments since 2010."

"It’s not just guns stolen from law enforcement, Barlowe said, but also guns stolen from everyday civilian gun owners that pose a safety risk for everyone. Just over 1 million guns were reported stolen from civilians nationwide since 2010, according to FBI records obtained by the Investigative Unit. Barlowe said some of those guns will undoubtedly be used in violent crimes."

In the time since the Paris attacks, more Americans have been killed by guns than by the terrorists in Paris.

Ahhhh, the warm, safe feeling provided by weapon superiority.
