    So, these are only title II firearms? Article keeps saying "registered firearms".

    I noted the same thing, probably change the ranking if we "registered" our guns - but where? Their statement: For every 1,000 residents in Indiana, there are 14.1 guns. That's 92,700 registered firearms among 6,570,902 people. Of course this is CBS news so considering the source I guess we can't believe anything on the report!

    Short version: That count was of NFA items, not regular firearms. INGO's 43,000 members own far more than 92,700 guns. NFA items accounts for how uber-restrictive Washington DC rates as #2 most armed.

    Are you sure? Two a piece sounds about right with the odd member here and there owning three. Wasn't everyone trying to recover from those mid-winter boating accidents?
