Police data reveals officers encountered nearly 17,000 firearms in under six years
Take out the 3600 which weren't firearms but got added in so that they can juice up their numbers, roughly 12 400

12400 divided by 6 is 2066 per year

Because police don't seem to want to separate out what exactly the word "encounter" means I'm going to go by my dictum that I use when dealing with those eedjits that tell me that they have an invisible friend in the sky and say

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof


Therefore, entering into the spirit of how police like to interpret their "data" , I'm going to include all times that police have pulled over someone transporting a firearm legally

Now I don't know how many times police pull people over per year but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say more than 2066 per annum


So what all this crap reported as evidence (and this word is doing some heavy lifting here) means can be summed up in an alternative headline which could well be equally true

"Police meet the public regularly"


Aww, isn't that sweet, bless
