As America reels from yet another mass shooting, inevitable questions resurface about guns laws and the nation's pervasive firearm culture. Here is a look at per capita weapons data, based on the ATF's National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record, and 2013 data from the U.S. Census...
...it does not include categories like pistols, which make up a large percentage of the guns in the U.S.

10 and 20 round mags?
No, just glued some 4 round mags together. The high cap mags are a bit pricey.

“39. Wisconsin.....For every 1,000 residents in Wisconsin, there are 7.8 guns. That’s 44,705 registered firearms dispersed among 5,742,713 people.”.....
Well, those are strange numbers when you consider there are over 400,000 deer hunters each season......Ah but, most of the 400,000 hunters weapons are NOT registered and should NEVER BE.
This is moronic. They’re only counting “registered” weapons, like NFA or those in the Slave States that have gun registration.
Woo hoo! We're Number One! Go Cowboy State!
Oh yeah, Open carry or concealed, no permit needed either way. Welcome to Wyoming.
Nah, you miss the point:
Here is a look at per capita weapons data, based on the ATF's National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record, and 2013 data from the U.S. Census.
While the ATF's National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record is the only accessible list of its kind, it is not all-inclusive. NFA firearms only include the categories regulated by The National Firearms Act of 1934: machine guns, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, suppressors, destructive devices like bombs and grenades, concealable devices with the ability to discharge a shot through the energy of an explosive, and any firearm with a bore over half an inch that has not been determined to have a legitimate sporting use.
That caught my eye, registered firearms? How would the ATF know this unless they are keeping an illegal database, gasp surely not! They could claim it is just a number count from background checks from each state, but I seriously doubt that. This government lies too much to the point no one believes anything it says. Beware the 4473.
I have a friend who got the special stamp because he wanted a silencer for his .22 Pass, I don’t want to be on the feds radar or give them a reason to come sniffing around me.
1) Machine Guns
2) Short Barrel Rifles
3) Short Barrel Shotgun
4) Destructive Devices
5) Silencers/Suppressors
6) Any other Weapon (AOW)
Lovingly know as the sexy six!
There is no way to get a good handle on what state has the most guns with a limited list like that since the majority of the " firearms" in the NFRTR have been added fairly recently such as Suppressors and SBR's; and some states that might have been gun friendly may have been behind in allowing NFA firearms.
Anyway I'm calling BS on the report.
114,000? That’s just the registered ones. If I had to rough guess, there are probably about as many firearms in Wyoming as there are people.
District of Columbia is #2.
Politicians like THEIR guns.
Well since we don’t register guns in the US how bogus is the rest of this article?
I got to GA where it says we have about 147,000 guns. Somebody is in for a big surprise one day. LOL!
I'd say you're right. We've got between a half-million and 600,000 folks, and very few of those I know just have one shooter, kids included.
