And among them are at least 100,000 fully automatic machine guns.

I wonder what happened to Switzerland. They did an AFN special on the gun business in Switzerlan while I was stationed in Germany. They said that the Swiss are the most heavily armed people in Europe. Every guy is drafted into the Army and than has to keep his service rifle at home for the rest of their life. It is also very easy for a citizen in good standing to buy a gun there.

On behalf of my fellow Texans, thanks for recognising Texas as #1 in firearms ownership.

I would bet that Texans are the most well armed in the U.S.

I have heard that there is an average of 2 per adult down here. We have 21 million citizens, and you have to figure that 2/3 or 14 million are adults...28 million! We're well prepared to defend the Alamo this time.

And if diehard liberal like Stephen Spielberg would pass out their guns, we would more than double our superiority.

"I have heard that there is an average of 2 per adult down here."

Well, my wife and I are doing our part ... we've exceeded that average by 100%: small concealable pistol, heavier pistol, shotgun, and rifle each ...

Sounds a little low ... at least in my household.

The last I heard was after the fedscum burned down the Davidian Compound and if I recall it was something like 17.4 firearms per adult here in Texas.

I know people who have more than that.

And that is a Full-Auto rifle required in every household for the defense of the country.

This is good news. But we can do better!

You betcha. Six months ago, the day I moved from New York to NC, I bought a Browning .380 and a Taurus .17HMR.

You can never have enough guns.

Don't forget the bullets!

No good coming home to an empty gun! < /monty python screeching british accent >
