There are no dangerous weapons; there are only dangerous men. - RAH
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.

HOW THE HELL DOES IL HAVE ANY GUNS?!?!? MUCH LESS MACHINE GUNS LEGALLY OWNED!
Re: We're number one! We're number one!
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

I ask again, will someone please tell me where the OP got the information he posted?

Re: We're number one! We're number one!
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.Reverenddel wrote:HOW THE HELL DOES IL HAVE ANY GUNS?!?!? MUCH LESS MACHINE GUNS LEGALLY OWNED!
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).
Geez, five minutes on Google can find it...AlanM wrote:I ask again, will someone please tell me where the OP got the information he posted?
Re: We're number one! We're number one!
I suspect if it were reported as machine guns per capita, AZ would jump up in the listings...Jakeiscrazy wrote:Wow I though for sure AZ would be up there!

Re: We're number one! We're number one!
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.
