The market for used firearms in the United States. Specifically, to provide the following information:
1) Total annual value of private (i.e. person-to-person) firearm sales in the U.S. (in dollars).
2) Total annual value of used (i.e. pre-owned) firearm sales in the U.S. (in dollars).
3) Total number of private (i.e. person-to-person) firearm sales in the U.S. annually (# of transactions or # of firearms sold).
4) Total number of used (i.e. pre-owned) firearm sales in the U.S. annually (# of transactions or # of firearms sold).

One note on terms:
-Private firearms sales are defined as sales between two private citizens, basically a person-to-person sale (i.e. those sales not involving a firearms dealer of any type)
-Used firearms sales are defined as any sale of a used firearm by a private citizen, whether the buyer is another private citizen or some form of firearm dealer or business.
-So "private sales" are a part, but not all, of "used firearms sales"
