Missouri's not doing too shabby. Dump St. Louis and Kansas City and we'd be number 1.

No Polls will ever show the True Numbers of Gun Owners. Not with the Current Administration's Stance on Guns.
You can bet that the Actual Numbers are at least Double!

Yeah it's probably simply indicative of gun attitudes in the states. Heck, Mississippi is probably overstated because some people are too ashamed to admit they DON'T have a gun
(Mississippi's State Motto is Virtue et Armis - by Valor and Arms) But Texas has a reputation to uphold after all! You wouldn't Texicans would be shy about owning up to having a gun in the house. Houston is probably skewing the numbers. Maybe the only thing the survey shows is that states with mainly rural populations have a higher percentage of gun ownership (or a higher percentage willing to admit to gun ownership) than states with big cities. DUH!

Hmm, only 21.7% or about 1 out 5 for California! 'Ranked close to the bottom! But wait! With population of ~38 millions; that's like over 8 millions gun owners!
Oh well! Minor details!
