States with the Highest Rates of Gun Ownership Ranked

[mak0]

There is absolutely no way Delaware, a state with gun laws that aren't terrible, has lower gun ownership rates than NY, NJ, and CA where buying guns is much more difficult and dissuades many people who would otherwise own a firearm from exercising their 2a rights.

Who would give the Communist Broadcasting System a real answer to a poll? Guns? Oh no I would never own a gun it might shoot a loved one or myself while it sits unloaded in a drawer. Leftists are either the dumbest or most dishonest people on the face of the earth.

I was surveyed. I told them I had none. If I told the truth PA would have been in the top 5. Statistically speaking of course. Love me some permutationz

Bearing in mind the source and puny sample size, find it odd that liberal Hawaii is ranked 10th with nearly one in two living on the islands of paradise owning guns.

This is why I won't be frightened of eating bacon, or beef.

Lies. Damned lies.

Total BS. So by asking less than 10 people per state (assuming they even covered every state) they can come up with a number accurate to 0.1%? No poll that knows about statistics reports like that.

I had to click but stopped at the first page. Delaware last with only 5.2% ownership? This is too far off of the average to be valid and just shows how bogus this article is.

Your math is off: 4000 / 50 = 80 people per state. But yes, nowhere near enough people.

Sorry about that. You are correct......... Guess that $6 a bottle Scotch was not such of a good deal!

No worries. Migraine tonight, so I'm a bit pedantic. Statistically, the number isn't that unreasonable depending on what you are asking about, but you've really got to control for confounders that can throw your numbers way off on a subject like firearms ownership.

The lefties always like to play games and say things like there are 400,000,000 firearms in America (more than the number of people). But.....it is just the top few percent of gun nuts (the people here?) that own them. So by taking away your 2A freedoms and getting rid of these evil firearms it will only effect the few percent of the evil soon to be murderers in this country.

Sad and total BS like this made up "scientific" ranking.
