    It does tell you but you have to get through all 30 slides plus ads. The #1 importer is Turkey.
    I figured it was Turkey, but after the 4th or 5th slide about something that had nothing to do with the article, I shut it down.

    The Turks are producing some very decent handguns.

    I did. TWICE. Still don't see it. Is the italicized text below not the entire article?

    The U.S. is the largest market for civilian firearms in the world and the only country with more guns than people. Not surprisingly, many of the largest firearm companies - including Sturm, Ruger & Co., Remington Outdoor, and Smith & Wesson - are located in the United States.

    Still, America's $32.1 billion a year arms and ammunition industry may not be large enough to meet consumer demand. The U.S. imported over 6.8 million guns in 2020, up 71% from the previous year, and by far the most ever recorded. (Here is a look at the states where anyone can get a gun today.)

    The largest share of all U.S. imports of firearms in 2020 - nearly 60% - were handguns. Shotguns were the second largest category, accounting for about 28% of all firearm imports, followed by rifles, which made up just under 13% of all imports.

    Using data from the 2021 edition of Firearms Commerce in the United States, a report published by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, 24/7 Wall St. identified the 32 countries exporting the most guns to the US. Countries are ranked by the total number of handguns, rifles, and shotguns imported into the United States in 2020.

    The vast majority of countries on this list are located in Europe, though this list includes some Asian and South American countries as well. Some of the countries sending the most guns to the U.S. are home to firearm brands that many American gun enthusiasts and sports men and women would be familiar with, including Beretta, which is headquartered in Italy (No. 6 on the list); Glock, headquartered in Austria (No. 2), and Taurus, headquartered in Brazil (No. 3). (Here is a look at which Americans own the most guns, a ranking of all 50 states.)
