Yeah, that isn't right.
This one makes more sense.
Oklahoma is at 55%, Nebraska at 45%, Texas at 46%, and Ohio at 50%.

It’s a no brainer that the gun ownership percentage for the state is going to lag behind the south.
well, we're talking about registered guns, right? I've got a safe full of guns that the government isn't aware of, hand me downs, gifts, gun show purchases, etc., probably a fair margin of error in those stats

The eastern third of Texas is as much Southern as Louisiana or Mississippi.
All metro areas will have a different culture, but Texas is gun country. People just don't register everything.
shite, showing Alaska at 61% should show you something is off.

The vast majority of guns in the United States are not registered. If you go to Academy and buy a handgun, it’s not registered.

Shocked that LA has more than Texas overall.

That would put 8 million gun owners in California

Glad they label my paintball equipment as Markers or I’d be in a lot of trouble

Ohio, Nebraska, Oregon, & Washington all much lower than I expected.

It's hard to buy a gun when you don't have a social security number. Since we've had a recent population explosion there's just not enough employees at the social security office to get them one.

This is a percent of those who admit to owning guns.

No
Just a larger percentage of the population that own a gun

Most of the people I personally know in the Sound area believe guns will unilaterally turn on them and kill them one night when they least expect them to..

50/50 for me
Everyone else I know in WA outside that area has from 1 to many firearms. Including those that vote dem.

There's way more.
States with stricter laws will be more underreported.
Posted on 6/21/21 at 2:50 pm to blueridgeTiger
Nebraska has to be some kind of reporting or tabulation error.
Posted on 6/21/21 at 2:50 pm to blueridgeTiger
They probably couldn't poll most of WV due to being afraid to go into those hills. Another possibility is many told the old "boating accident" story.
