    Most heavily armed States per capita

    Surprised we were only 8th. I find it ludicrous that D.C. is number two. What about all those strict gun laws?

    They don't disclose their methodology. How do they know how many guns there are in Tennessee? There is no gun registration here.
    It's been ten years since that lonely day I left you
    In the morning rain, smoking gun in hand
    Ten lonely years but how my heart, it still remembers
    Pray for me, momma, I'm a gypsy now

      I still get a chuckle out of D.C. being #2

        That's why I question the methodology. That doesn't pass the sniff test.

          Those strict DC gun laws don't apply to Maryland and Virginia.

            And the proposed US strict gun laws won't apply to Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, nor the Pacific Ocean.

                From the link...

                While this list is lengthy, it does not include categories like pistols, which make up a large percentage of the guns in the U.S. As such, the total numbers of guns in each state would actually be much higher than the figures here. This gallery is a but a snapshot of some of the broader trends.
                Somehow, Michigan coming in at #48 at 4.3 per thousand (ahead of only New York, Delaware and Rhode Island) makes no sense at all.

                They are saying there are roughly 43,000 registered firearms in the entire state. I saw more than that at last week's gun show.
                We are so fucked.

                  Especially since DC isn't a state.
