    That was an interesting read. Thanks for sharing. Connecticut has about a gazillion registered machine guns. Who knew?

    I am ashamed of my state's numbers.

    The one thing I thought was odd was that DE outlawed suppressors but there are 32 registered in the state. Grandfathered? PD departments?

    Don't forget some of those numbers look higher than they should because they have included civie and law enforcement in those numbers.

    example, DDs are high because they include flash bang grenades. MGs are high due to LE guns included into the total. Only around 180,000 transferable MGs out there. The rest are dealers samples or posties.

    PA does need to get on it.

    PA does need to get in on HE DD    .

    I'm surprised PA has the second highest number of FFL's, behind only TX.
