To know this information to calculate, they would have to have an unconstitutional gun registry.

I own an arsenal that was inherited, that I guarantee, are not on any gun list to be in that calculation in any "gun ownership" chart.

Likely some phone survey or what not. The "everyone in Georgia carries (paraphrased because I'm lazy)" statement had to have some reality injected.

No way that can be accurate. There are many guns that no one has a listing of.

And no way does "everyone in Georgia" carry.


Accurate? Probably not, but one side or the other doesn't get to pick which stats are accurate if you're going to be intellectually honest.

Got some stats to back that up? I'd be interested in knowing where the information comes from.

For example.

A Woman knows her soon to be ex has a pistol but now SHE can't purchase one for self protection? What a bunch of loons.

She blames the gun not the nutcase ex....outstanding.

It's like trying to keep track of illegal aliens. We can't count what we can't count, even if we know they exist.

The thing is is that you can still only hold one rifle or 2 pistols so how many guns do people need?
