If everyone was as smart as us, it would be 2000 per 100...at least.

I saw a nationally syndicated news article last week in a news paper that was all about women buying guns for self defense. They quoted former anti-gun women who are buying guns in record numbers because they know the law enforcement folks cannot protect them.

I searched the internet news for the link but [surprise, surprise] I cannot find it.

But I did find this New York Times article talking about how easy it is to buy guns on the internet and how
Such weapons, available by the thousands online, fall under a loophole in federal firearm sales laws, and many could potentially find their way into a black market, to the streets and eventually into violent crimes, officials with the New York City mayor’s office said.

I'm sure MS would be pretty high on that list. Probably not #1 but I would think in the top 10 with the biggest thing holding us back is average income. People in MS don't have as much disposable income as some other states like Texas.

I'd also be curious to know which liberal state is last. What's your guess: Massachusetts?, New York?, California? My guess would be NY.

Illinois with their no-carry permit laws has to be high up there too.

The key to this nation's safety, in my humble opinion, is the old "gun behind every tree" axiom. There is nothing more dangerous to an invader than an angry, determined, and armed local populace. Ninety guns per 100 people is not enough...not with non-existent borders. Everybody should be carrying at least one handgun, one back-up, and one long gun, which works out to three hundred guns per 100 people. Let me check...yep, I'm doing my part. thumbs up

I've got me and a few others covered. I don't gave any trees either, so I keep mine behind every door.

Thanks. I bet if they actually knew how many guns are actually in MS we would be 3rd or 4th. There is no way they know what I have

Now you really know why I moved from NY. Only 18% own guns. That's a sin of the first magnitude.
