CBS - How armed is your state.

[Firehaus]

Article on CBS about how many registered firearms are in each state not including pistols.

I feel like I have seen this before. Clearly one sided on a certain agenda. My first thought reading California was, okay out of those "registered" firearms how many are involved in crimes? Did the article go into that? No. That's ridiculous. Then when you get to Colorado it is a picture of Firing Line...which is close to the Aurora Theater where the shooting took place. Why is that necessary? It's not. More agenda. I hate the news.

LOL, DC is #2? Somehow, I just don't believe the rankings.

[Firehaus]

The first page has the methodology.


"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."

Having lived there for several years, I believe that it is. However, not legal guns per local laws....but believe me the guns are there. LOL

The CBS report is complete bunk, and similar to extrapolating the ownership of pick-up trucks across the country based on the number of registered Lamborghinis and Ferraris.

WY is #1. I'm betting most of those "registered guns" are suppressors.

[BushMasterBoy]

More proof the MSM is full of BS.

[Firehaus]

Registered NFA items are the stats they are sighting.

CBS - Can't Be Serious.

Did you see this on one of the news accumulations sites or were you actually browsing CBS News?

I read a story today from the Washington Post where the author referred to TSA as an internationally capable intelligence agency. [ROFL3]

DC is #2 and Virginia is #5. Who inhabits these places? Mostly federal employees, many who are armed for their jobs. There are some issues with the ranking.

I find most things I read on the Internet funny. Thanks for sharing. It is a good example of the quality we can expect from those who are paid to feed us information.

As far as NFA items go, those seem like high numbers.

[Firehaus]

Exactly.

I wonder if Zak knows he is in that photo for Wyoming... Anyway we need to move up that list, 20th is pathetic.

How can it be NFA items when DC does not allow NFA items in the district

I feel like the firing line has always had a good amount of media attention long before the theater shooting. I was there when a news crew was setting up a years back, and I've seen shots of their sales floor used a time or two before that.

OK, answered it there.

Sighting??? Perhaps you meant, citing.

Of course. Is my iPhone the only one that likes to insert different spellings as I type?

If I see someone posting from their phone, I always insert the correct meaning for what they are trying to convey.
