69,668 sure seems low... I guess the pistol number would really bump it up.

Sounds about right on the money.

If I had to guess, the number is probably 69,668 over the real number. There are no guns in Louisiana.
That's right and I'm running with it!!!!

That is the number of registered weapons in Louisiana. That number is all the NFA items registered in Louisiana. That includes Sound Suppressors. The article states in the fine print that the NFA list is the only registration list in every state. So they tried to make the correlation that the state with the most NFA items was the most armed state as well.

Its most likely the number of guns bought in stores when paperwork was filled out and background was run.
This is the data that Bloomberg released a week or so ago. It's from the NFA registry, but remember that police (local, state, federal) items are listed even if non-transferable. That accounts for the quantities listed in non-NFA states. And the total lack of creditability of the report, typical liberal fact bending.

Nope, If Bloomers say's 69,668 is all we have in the state then we should run with it.
Anything more we would be cutting our own throat.

I read a commentary on the article somewhere. They dug into it and found that the idiots writing the article only included NFA items, which would make the 69K number make sense. OTOH, I read this on Falsebook so...

D.C. is #2 so I have my doubts about this list
Is it strange that I'm curious what kind of NFA goodies the LSP has? IIRC, there's an original Thompson at HQ. I wonder if that one got factored in as well
Just as an example:
In 2011, Louisiana had 277,000 hunters. Multiply that number by how many guns you think each hunter has, and you still only have a fraction of the total.
Whether this quote was actually said or not, it certainly appears to hold true (somewhat):
"You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass."

Here's the link to the original report:
http://www.bloomberg.com/visual-data/best-and-worst//most-registered-guns-per-capita-states
And the description on how they derived the data:
Overview
Bloomberg ranked the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia by the number of registered firearms per 1,000 residents.
Methodology
Firearms are defined by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as a destructive device, machine gun, silencer, short-barreled rifle, short-barreled shotgun and any other weapon capable of being concealed on the person from which a shot can be discharged. Population estimates for 2013 were released by the U.S. Census on June 26, 2014.
Also, on the DC numbers, the BATFE reference firearms collection is up there somewhere. If it's in DC then it would inflate the numbers.

When I was about 12 my uncle who was with the LSP "checked out" from LSP armory an M1A1 Thompson that we shot at a dump somewhere in WBR parish. Made lovely big holes in old refrigerators and such. Been in love with them ever since. Of course this was about 38 years ago.
