We need some new gun math.

[dennishoddy]

Apparently Oklahoma isn’t even in the top 10 for gun sales in 2023 among states.
I’d like the math to reflect a ratio of gun sales per person, not just an overall number.

Which states sold the most guns in 2023?​

The states that sold the most guns last year is largely reflected by its population size. The top three states that sold the most guns in 2023 are also the most populated.

According to SafeHomes' analysis of NICS data, these are the states with the most firearms sales in 2023:

1. Texas: 1,347,589
2. Florida: 1,316,471
3. California: 1,043,421
4. Pennsylvania: 841,523
5. Tennessee: 633,015
6. Ohio: 583,314
7. Virginia: 581,698
8. Michigan: 555,650
9. Missouri: 520,488
10. Illinois: 504,452

I like to think that Oklahoma is ahead of the curve and already ready.

Well you guys need to get busy! I think I’ve bought 10 or so in the past 4 years. No way we should be outdone my Oregon??

I would say a whole lot of guns sold in Oklahoma isnt accounted for since they dont go thru the NICS check and are sold and bought thru individuals. i know 95% of mine didnt go thru a NICS, and the 3 or 7 depending on how you look at lol one had 5 different barrels with it was no background this weekend.

Showed my wife this map, she said we have some catching up to do. I'm not complaining, now if you could also show one with number of wristwatches and muscle cars per capita I could have the best birthday ever!
