What’s the Gun Ownership Rate in Your State?

Via John


While we don’t know for certain, it’s estimated that there are roughly 300 million guns in America.

Of course, some say that number is higher…much higher…like upwards of 200 million higher. (No, ifs, ands or buts about it) So who owns all these guns, and where do they live? Injury Prevention, a scholarly journal, decided to find out.

The journal surveyed 4,000 adults across the country to see which states have the highest number of gun owners per capita, also known as the gun ownership rate.

Check to see how your state ranks. You just might be surprised.

Below the national average of 29.1%

    I figured my State, Tennessee would be well over 50% instead of 39%. I wonder if a lot of gunowners don't comply with such a survey or answer no thinking the info is gonna be shared with Fed agencies who have NO lawful business re: who has guns, what guns or how many guns. BATF should be abolished since the Feds have NO delegated powers re: alcohol, tobacco or firearms! --Ron W
