Four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, ammo - use in that order.
If you aren't part of the solution, then you obviously weren't properly dissolved.

All of the CA machine guns are most likely owned by movie companies.
Never initiate force against another. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.KYFHO

That's all registrations. While Illinois' number probably has a few grandfathered private registrations, almost all of them are either government guns or those held by manufacturers.
This applies to Virginia, of course - I would hazard to guess that at least two-thirds of the number registered in-state are government guns or are held by manufacturers or importers (we do have a few big import ops here).

I suspect if it were reported as machine guns per capita, AZ would jump up in the listings...

The ATF produces a yearly report, that is where the numbers come from. As others have pointed out, the very high numbers in unlikely locations have to do with manufacturing activities, importers or government held weapons...yes even the government has to deal with the ATF.
