3. There are 250K illegal long arms and 10K illegal handguns out there.

I like how an estimate suddenly becomes a cold, hard fact to some people. (The author, not you, Glenn.)
"We've got 250k illegal long guns out there. Some cops ran the numbers. We know for sure!"
...And probably completely ignores the numbers from '96 buyback/amnesty, when they estimated that at least 400,000 newly-prohibited but legally purchased long guns were not turned in by the end of the amnesty period; which, at that time, ignored firearms already illegally possessed.
