America's gun culture - fading slowly?

By Bernd Debusmann

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - ......
But in fact, gun ownership in the United States has been declining steadily over more than three decades, relegating gun owners to minority status....
Maybe, but here are the stats from PSP for 2006;
http://www.psp.state.pa.us/psp/lib/p...2006_final.pdf

413,165 purchased or privately transferred firearms.
FFL's reported 164,212 handgun transactions and 248,953 long guns.

Pennsylvania seems to be holding it's own.
