Hm, why don't the politicians ban guns in their own city? You'd think they'd want to be safe there...

Gotta love how See BS portrays "registered firearms" when by law nationally there is no such thing (except in gungrabbing libtard states).

Indiana, and there is no way in hell there's only 14.1 weapons for every 1,000 people. Not for rural people anyway, then again, city folk.... who knows?..

They are only counting nfa guns for the most part.
As America reels from yet another mass shooting, inevitable questions resurface about guns laws and the nation's pervasive firearm culture. Here is a look at per capita weapons data, based on the ATF's National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record, and 2013 data from the U.S. Census.
While the ATF's National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record is the only accessible list of its kind, it is not all-inclusive. NFA firearms only include the categories regulated by The National Firearms Act of 1934: machine guns, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, suppressors, destructive devices like bombs and grenades, concealable devices with the ability to discharge a shot through the energy of an explosive, and any firearm with a bore over half an inch that has not been determined to have a legitimate sporting use.

They could just give us the list on 1 page.
I have a hunch they present it like this because they get more advertising space.

That BS misrepresentation is pumped out in the media constantly !! Ridiculous crime shows and news reports all talk about gun databases and registration, people don't even understand what registration is. Can't tell you how many people I meet that talk about unregistered guns in Florida - a state that has no gun registration.

What kind of list is this anyway?
While this list is lengthy, it does not include categories like pistols, which make up a large percentage of the guns in the U.S. As such, the total numbers of guns in each state would actually be much higher than the figures here. This gallery is a but a snapshot of some of the broader trends.

Is it possible to make and sell a gun that can't be registered ?
for example, sell it only in non-reg states ? Maybe give all the guns the same serial #

Anyone can make a gun, the issue is commerce, i.e. don't try to sell/offer for purchase a gun you made yourself outside the purview of the BATF.
