in 2007 airport screeners confiscated 1416 guns?!?! (the 1.1 million knives isn't as perplexing to me 'cuz [in my mind] there's way more ambiguity around what's a "knife" than a gun).

In a reddit Ask Me Anything post a TSA screener mentioned how his area alone found 1-2 guns a month and a few knives/screwdrivers a day.

I had my spyderco folding knife confiscated. I totally forgot it was in my backpack. Apparently that happens alot.

  Right, and a lot of people carry small pocket knives on their keychains, etc.

so what is a gun? maybe a lot of those were toy guns (definitely not allowed on a plane).
