CBSNews.com recently posted an article about the Most heavily-armed states in America with the thousands of firearms registered in each state.
There's only one teensie-tiny problem. Most states don't register firearms, so how do they know how many there are?
They don't. The numbers reported appear to be the number of NFA Registered weapons (SBR, SBS, DD, and AOW) for each state. Note there are 42,897 registered firearms among the 646,449 population of the District of Columbia.
