This popped up on Facebook and I thought FReepers would like it. The data appears to come from city-data.com but I have no idea how they got the info.

"...no idea how they got the info."
That is troubling.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the county I grew up in, Douglas County, NE, and Sarpy County, which adjoins it, in this list.
To: Straight Vermonter
Probably came from ffl sales records, no?
By the by the third place county, Nez Perce, is in Idaho, not Arizona. It’s where they make Gold Dot ammo, among other products.
Thanks for the chart!

I wonder if there are any mosques in those counties.
To: rabidralph
Ya, same thing I wondered. Would be interesting also to see how many are predominately democrat. Im betting the majority are inhabited by liberals.

This is total BS. First, and we need go no further, gun owners today won't answer questions of this nature. They believe that when questions arise from the anti-gun buttheads in the cities that it is none of their damn business and nothing more than a cheap setup question.
I think it is much worse than that but this is a good lesson in how to create a lie and then push it as fact. If you missed that let me clarify it.
The people who put this together are bold faced liars with a political agenda of being against guns and for as much gun control as then can get.

Texas would be a lot higher if they just ranked it by number of guns and gun owners. Not percentage of owners.

I doubt those numbers. There are areas in MI that everyone has guns, it is rare for someone not to have any.
Of those over 18, I doubt more than 25-30% are gunless.

If there are they would tend (pretend) to hold your much-discussed peace-loving Mooslims. lol.
To: Straight Vermonter
Given many places have no registration requirements and the background checks are not supposed to be in any database, how accurate could this be?

This just counts legal gun owners.
If you count criminals with guns the map would look quite a bit different.

Vermont has four counties on the list. Many don’t realize that VT has the best gun laws in the country.

Agreed. Long guns don’t require registration in most states and there is no way of knowing how many of those there are.

I’m wondering how they got their info. Our county is pretty high on the list. we have only one (concealed carry) registered. Lost count of how many we lost when our boat was swamped..........
