And then there’s building your own ...
Uh, yeah, like all of them sold before 1998, which is when the NICS was put into effect. That would be quite a few.
And just how would See-BS know this?
I live in Commiefornia.
Some of my Guns are Registered, but the ones I owned before CA went nuts are not, including many that were bought or traded for without Government intervention back when the Second Amendment was respected.
Never thought the day would came that I would feel like a Jew who owned a Firearm in the Warsaw Ghetto, but here we are.
Ohio comes in at #45
In other news, Ohio ranks #1 in unfortunate boating accidents.
Yes, but AFAIK, the ATF 4473 forms are not digital and while it is not too difficult to trace a single firearm to a particular FFL and retail purchaser, it becomes more problematic to convert all 4473s, most of which remain in the FFL's files, to a digital record. (This is a good thing, IMO.)
That is how it is in most states. There isn’t anywhere to register them anyway. If I want to my NV sheriff and said hey I own guns he would be all like, “No sh*t, you and everyone else. Tell me something I don’t know.”
Nevada is #16
We’re at 100% in my home..
Roger that. I suppose they may base the numbers off of BGC calls. Is/was there accounting for people moving from state to state bringing their weapons with them? I’m sure the basic numbers are close. At least a little.
I’m calling this the “Target rich environment” list.
Sorry dang state of affairs ain’t it.
My fellow Georgian
What is wrong with us? Only 40-50%? Those are rookie numbers! We need to get those numbers UP!
Somebody got a picture of your boat before you cast off that fateful day ...
And they'll discount the relatively low gun-related crime rate by saying that Alaska 'isn't like the rest of the country,' thereby proving that it isn't the fault of the guns, but of the criminals who use them.
The fallacy of their argument will be completely lost on them.
Oh, my! Are you also a member of the FR Boating Club? I made the same mistake. Repeatedly. When surveyed (and I have been surveyed), I respond that I have no firearms. I give the same response to any doctor unprofessional enough to ask.
Frankly, I would wish/hope that they’re pretty inaccurate. I like a state of affairs where the government and other organisations don’t really know what self-defense mechanisms the citizens really have. It’s not like they would ever, under the most stringent circumstances, have a handle on what the criminals have, anyway.
Here’s the state by state listing
ahahah
has my state as low - good.let ‘em think that. They have no clue about all the guns that have been handed down for generations. (Lotsa good ole ‘thutty-thuttys’ out there.)
