Lol, U.S. with 1.2 guns per capita. Cmon guys, those are rookie numbers.

Most of us are screwing up the statistics……

This is based on surveys and extrapolation.

Good info. I think that Japanese quote from wwIi still holds true: "it would be impossible to invade the US because there would be a gun behind every blade of grass". God bless America!

The actual numbers are probably much higher given that many gun owners would rather not tell the callers they own guns.

I think these are government reports of weapons sales. Since every commercial manufacturer must be registered with the government and track their production I think the only thing missed in these reports is home manufacture.

Proud to be from the winning state! What do we win?

Estimates. Also..

U.S. - number of registered weapons by state 2021 | Statista

Texas was the state with the highest number of registered weapons in the United States in 2021, with 1,006,555 firearms.

www.statista.com

See the words registered weapons?

Since officially there is no "national registry" of non-NFA firearms, we must assume that the numbers are for NFA items including silencers/suppressors. Also, there are FFL SOTs, LEO agencies with NFA items registered. These numbers could include LEO NFA weaponry.

Edit. Again, depending on how they get the stats and info, I'd wager that there is a bigger number of firearms in the US, legal, illegal, registered NFA and otherwise.

Seems to me Israeli common citizens have some catching up to do.

Yeah they do. They do not need to measure in "per capita" they need to measure in "per person". If there ever was a state that needed mandatory ownership laws it's them.

Seems to me that Hamas attack would have been very different if every household was well armed.

I did a survey a few years ago and most responded that they would either lie or not take the poll.

I refuse to do any surveys or polls that come on my phone. And if my doctor required a survey that asked about gun ownership I would lie. Saying MYOB or arguing about the relevance of the question would just get counted as a yes answer.

Years ago, my doctor handed me a survey that included almost a page of non-medical questions, including a gun question. I put a large X across the whole page and returned it to him. He was fine with that. I happen to know that he was a gun owner as well.

According to the report, Mexico has just over 3M registered guns. While that may be tru-ish, there alot more than 3 million guns in Mexico. Would also like to know where the US falls under, machetes per capita. Registered or otherwise.

Israel has restrictive laws for private citizens most likely because 21% of the Israeli population is Arab. They have the right to vote but are not required to do military service. Neither are certain fundamentalist Jewish sects. So to have permissive gun laws would mean arming that 21% minority, who are mostly Sunni Muslims. And who live inside Israel's borders. And who mostly speak Arab at home but are mostly fluent in Hebrew as a second language.

Not sure what specifically the Palestinian flag has to do with your statement since this is a thread about US ownership by state, though I'll agree everyone should be armed. Especially the Israelites going forward
