It just keeps circulating. Fake News.
“As with much fake news, the most important part is the headline. In this case, it is a question: “How heavily armed is your state?””
I don’t know.
“How heavily armed is your state?”
I think the proper response would be: “Not Enough!”
I’d say Illinois and specifically Chicago is very well armed. After all it is pretty much war on the streets there with several people shot every week. But that is beside the point... or is it?
IIRC the article, while describing the NFA category, fails to note that many states outright ban some or all of the items included. NY won’t show much ownership precisely because most NFA guns are prohibited there (though I’ll note registering a 12ga AOW pistol there is a hoot), though hunting guns (not included in NFA) are quite common.
Kinda like the circular reasoning that machineguns shouldn’t be allowed because they’re not common, but they’re not common because they’re not allowed.
How many or how powerful? Guess they don’t know the difference between few and less.
North Dakota. The sheer quantity of shotguns and hunting rifles throws the earth’s gravity slightly off balance here.
In related news made 5# batch of goose sausage last weekend, gave it a 1 hour kiss in the smoker. Kids and neighbors completely destroyed it by Monday.
A few years ago, I read a story listing how every state rated number one at something. I don’t remember the source; I think it was The Daily Beast. For my current home state, Kentucky, it said Kentucky owned more guns per capita than any other state. Presumably we got that way because Kentucky has more than its share of hunters and servicemen. I interpreted that as good news.

For the state with the most firearms per capita, I put my money on Wyoming.
If one can immediately answer the question “how many guns do you have?” without pausing to think about it (except for the obvious, “not enough,”) one needs to buy more guns.

Methinks FL follows the Bill of Rights Amendment Two: “A well armed...”
Imho of course.
5.56mm
Here in Texas it’s at least 2 per man and 1 per woman.
Myself, I don’t have any, they all got lost in a boating accident.
