The state uses gun-related hashtags the most in the U.S., according to a study by the insurance company NetQuote.

The company combed through more than 6 million Instagram posts from 2013 to 2015 to find about half a million posts on the photo-sharing app with gun-related hashtags and location information. Nevada posts more than 200 gun-related hashtags for every 100,000 residents, according to the study.

Hawaii, Florida, Arizona and Oregon trail Nevada to make up the top five states using the most gun hashtags such as #2a, #firearms, #girlswithguns, #gunporn and #pewpew.

The study also lists Paradise, a designation for the area of unincorporated Clark County that includes the Strip, as the third-highest city for overall gun hashtag use. That part of the county uses 1.34 percent of the nation’s gun-related hashtags. The city with the highest gun hashtag use was Gainesville, Florida, followed by Anna, Texas.

Junk statistics...one week a year where thousands are gathered for the annual ShotShow would skew these, especially if the total hashtags were to be divided by the census population of Clark County.

Isn't Gainesville a liberal college town...University of Florida... and the place that 'caught' Newt's cell phone calls?
