There are approximately 700,000 police officers in the US.
There are also between 117,000,000 and 150,000,000 gun owners in the US (approximately and depending on the source).
If everyone only owned one gun, the police market is a whopping half percent of it at best.
But let's say the cops are being sensible and have their main pistol and a back up on them plus a shotgun and patrol [sic] rifle in the car.
If every cop has four guns and everyone else has one, they're still just 2% of the market!
The thing is, I don't think they're even the half percent of the market I mentioned earlier. Most gun owners I know own substantially more than one gun. Even the most casual ones I know own at least two guns.
What all this adds up to...
Gun makers. You can tell any and every department in the nation who makes any sort of demand about releasing your records to try their hand at the local gun shops for weapons procurement.
