The states with the most guns traced to them by the federal government
This group of states that are around me are very "gun friendly" have lots of gun shows and allow face to face sales with no FFL paper work.
#45. Wyoming Traced firearms per 10k residents: 5.06
Total firearms: 293
#40. Idaho Traced firearms per 10k residents: 7.24
Total firearms: 1,376
#36. South Dakota Traced firearms per 10k residents: 9.24
- Total firearms: 827
#34. North Dakota Traced firearms per 10k residents: 9.94- Total firearms: 770
#33. Montana Traced firearms per 10k residents: 10.63 - Total firearms: 1,174
Now these state require a permit to purchase and no face to face sales without an FFL
#25. Oregon- Traced firearms per 10k residents: 12.82 - Total firearms: 5,445
#23. California- Traced firearms per 10k residents: 13.85 - Total firearms: 54,338
#20. Illinois- Traced firearms per 10k residents: 15.09
- Total firearms: 19,120
#1. Washington DC- Traced firearms per 10k residents: 35.18
- Total firearms: 2,357
California with its permit to purchase laws, waiting periods, FFL required for all sales is responsible for 11 times as many as the 5 states near me and has a 1/3 higher rate by population than the worst of those, yet its legislators are screaming that criminals are getting guns from gun friendly states.
