Turkey has the 2nd largest standing army in NATO.
NC has The Air Force, The Army, The Marines, and The Coast Guard.

Could be like Eric Holder sending guns to Mexico.

Yes. People leave their property unsecured, or possibly very secured, and then thieves rob them of their property. This results in what is known as a "stolen firearm."

WOULD THAT MEAN FIREARMS PURCHASED BY GUN NUTS WHO THEN TAKE THEM HOME AND SUBSEQUENTLY LEAVE THEM UNSECURED AND HAVE THEM STOLEN WHEN THEY ARE BROKEN INTO?

I believe that would be a firearm procured by means that are less than the laws require to be legally procured. Just a guess.

Throw in the illegal guns and I wonder how much it increases.

That's interesting anti and skeptic.
Skeptic's link is actually using population in individual states vs average number of firearms owned nationally, or do I misread that?
Antithesis' link says these conclusions were based on a per capita basis though. So maybe those states do not actually have the most or the least?
87% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

I thought that was interesting. For all we've heard about it being dangerous, New York is one of the safest states in the US! We should be a lot more concerned about Louisiana.
In comparison to other countries, though, the US has one of the highest gun related death rates:
"The nationwide gun death rate was 10.38 per 100,000. The total number of Americans killed by gunfire rose to 32,351 in 2011 from 31,672 in 2010," it found. "America's gun death rates�both nationwide and in the states�dwarf those of most other Western industrialized nations. The gun death rate in the United Kingdom in 2011 was 0.23 per 100,000 while in Australia it was 0.86 per 100,000."
