15. IndianaFor every 1,000 residents in Indiana, there are 14.1 guns. That's 92,700 registered firearms among 6,570,902 people.
Here, a man shows his daughter a six-shooter at the 143rd NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana on April 26, 2014.

The shocker is DC but then again maybe not...

Where'd they register em at?!?

And there's probably 900-1200 / 1000 unregistered.

I wondered that also...maybe it is bases on 'residents' #'s purchased.

This has been posted a couple of time over the last year or so. I think someone posted it might be NFA registered items.

Sorry Ed. This is a re-re-post. The data has been quite thoroughly debunked. As Expat noted, those numbers are most likely NFA. If you add up every state, you have less than 1% of the correct number of firearms in the US.

Photo number 1 states that it is, indeed, just a record of NFA items. Still, DC seems to be way up on that list and I wonder if it includes companies that send contractors overseas. That might inflate DCs NFA numbers.

Sorry about the Dupe.

ed, remember the Media often deliberately communicates disinformation. It is a deliberate action to confuse and demoralize the pro-gun side.

The ongoing media disinformation campaigns are similar to Infektion (KGB campaign to convince world that AIDS invented by USA) or "Nuclear Winter". The techniques are the same as the KGB (and GRU) and the U.S. media studied each other.

The report is referencing Title II items in the registry (hence the D.C. numbers with all their federales). This report is meant to be archived so that the Bradities or Mommies can show politicians and declare "see, not that many people own guns in your state." It is part of a base of fire for future operations.
