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.

Say WHAT? I would think that NFA items represent less than 1% of all firearms in the US. I can't believe that the number of $20,000-$50,000 legally registered machine guns in a state - only 2 or 3 of which have ever been used in crimes since 1934 - means much. (Or it might. I didn't click further, but I had read somewhere that New Hampshire has the highest number of legal machine guns per household of any state -- and also one of the lowest homicide rates of any state.)

More like half of a percent.

This is a hilarious example of how clueless CBS is.

What maroons!
