Sniper 6,372 Posted December 8, 2018 48. New Jersey The gun ownership rate in New Jersey is 11.3 percent. (Note: #1 is the most/highest. That is Alaska, at 61.7%) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishnut 2,358 Posted December 9, 2018 I'm shocked that New Hampshire is ranked 47. I have not met one resident up here who doesn't own a gun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted December 9, 2018 Does not work on Opera. Anyone have a direct source with the list or can copy and paste? Just saw Delaware as the last one... seems really off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sniper 6,372 Posted December 9, 2018 Screen caps: ABSTRACT We assessed gun ownership rates in 2013 across the USA and the association between exposure to a social gun culture and gun ownership. We used data from a nationally representative sample of 4000 US adults, from 50 states and District of Columbia, aged >18 years to assess gun ownership and social gun firearm policy information was obtained from the Brady Law Center and Injury Prevention and Control Center. https://injuryprevention.bmj.com/content/injuryprev/early/2015/06/09/injuryprev-2015-041586.full.pdf?keytype=ref&ijkey=doj6vx0laFZMsQ2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howard 538 Posted December 9, 2018 I think these numbers are way off. I doubt they are even as high as they indicate in NJ and I bet they are much higher than stated in FL. In six months I have only met two people that don't have guns here in Florida. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobA 1,235 Posted December 9, 2018 I don't believe the numbers. Anyone that has spent extensive time in some of those states would know. I have in Colorado, South Dakota, Virginia, Kentucky, Montana and a lot in Maine. Guns are everywhere. They're a way of life. South Dakota supports two Cabela's with a population of less than a million people. In Montana I shopped an AR in an Ace Hardware right next to the paint and ladders. Not even locked up. I was up in Maine for Thanksgiving and it sounded like a war zone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An all-encompassing database violates federal law and anything less is only partial and thus inaccurate. Maybe from NICS requests - but that does not mean a firearm was purchased. Polls? Who of you out there would answer a random pollster as to whether you owned guns? Plus, they can't poll everybody, meaning there would have to be extrapolation. This is all BS. Adios, Pizza Bob 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They polled 4000 across the country. How were they selected, what demographic, gender, age, etc? We all know polls are designed to get the required result the person paying for them wants.

Because if the poll didn’t get the intended result, the person paying won’t release the results.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lambo2936 297 Posted December 11, 2018 Honestly, even if this IS off, 30% ain't bad for gun OWNERS (Not necessarily those who support the right to own; i know about as many people in NJ who are "Pro-Gun" IE don't care, as i do actual gun owners). I believe the number in some of these states is higher too, like Delaware being dead last.. WTF? The rate there has to be higher than NJ. I Dont buy it. In reality, id bet the numbers were closer to 40%. Pretty damn impressive, and certainly should deter most idiots given that over 100 million Americans are armed. Also, given that most/many have multiple (many) firearms, not just one, wouldn't this also mean that the estimated 350 million guns in the US is closer to, like, a billion? Just sayin'..
