Here are the gun sales figures for the first two months of 2022 for all 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico:

Alabama (131,862) Alaska (10,902) Arizona (73,004) Arkansas (36,489) California (210,577) Colorado (83,591) Connecticut (39,127) Delaware (9,684) District of Columbia (2,526) Florida (234,405) Georgia (102,272) Hawaii (2,690) Idaho (35,993) Illinois (782,222) Indiana (218,109) Iowa (45,842) Kansas (31,367) Kentucky (712,367) Louisiana (58,604) Maine (15,668) Maryland (36,211) Massachusetts (35,433) Michigan (125,187) Minnesota (135,238) Mississippi (45,915) Missouri (82,865) Montana (19,976) Nebraska (12,601) Nevada (25,001) New Hampshire (19,682) New Jersey (25,758) New Mexico (26,845) New York (62,162) North Carolina (107,866) North Dakota (10,622) Ohio (105,585) Oklahoma (56,928) Oregon (62,150) Pennsylvania (198,355) Puerto Rico (12,127) Rhode Island (4,572) South Carolina (67,657) South Dakota (13,858) Tennessee (138,446) Texas (267,878) Utah (158,066) Vermont (6,900) Virginia (90,239) Washington (108,721) West Virginia (29,768) Wisconsin (106,469) Wyoming (10,592)

The California number is a bit of a surprise, I thought it was tough to get a gun on teh west coast but it looks like someone had figured out how to do it.

When it comes to handguns, we are limited to buying what’s deemed “safe,” models that are on the Roster.
As for the wrongly called assault rifles, they have to be featureless or some other stupid requirement.
Otherwise, we are free to buy whatever we want. If I could afford it, I’d buy one every month.

Magazine sales are skyrocketing in Washington with the 10 round max. magazine law coming in effect! Not illegal to own but will be illegal to purchase.

Comparing to total population might be useful.

For example, in Alabama, the ratio of guns:population is 2.69%. For Cali, it’s 0.53%. so CA is listed kinda high, but AL is buying them a more than 5x the rate.

And Indiana beats them both at 3.23% ratio guns:population. State population is almost a larger factor than actual “gun purchase” popularity

Also, these numbers are necessarily not accurate. There is, fortunately, absolutely no way to know for sure how many guns were sold in any given state during those months. At least, most states.

And then

I think the ownership of a 10 Magazine will be grandfathered in but you have to register it. And they broke balls when people tried to register magazines over 10 rounds in my state as I remember.

Few days? Did you put them on layaway?

How does that work? Like if someone is in another state, they can purchase magazines there and it’s perfectly legal?

Reminds me of Wisconsin’s alcohol laws when I was in high school. It was illegal for someone under 21 to purchase alcohol, but it wasn’t technically illegal for someone under 21 to have alcohol, so long as it was legally purchased by someone else.

It sounds ridiculous but WA is still better than CA where mere possession is illegal if not grandfathered or purchased on “freedom week.”
WTH is freedom week?

Gun shop had to order one of them. Then, they have to spend the mandatory Illinois 72 hours in firearm purgatory, before I can collect them.
