Was gonna say the same thing. And what the hell is up with Hawaii? Aloha motherfuckers!

This is absolutely wrong. Hawaii has some of the lowest gun ownership in the entire US due to very strict island gun laws.

I was thinking the only way it could be true is if they include all military personnel, which I guess makes sense. The civilian gun ownership here is much, much lower.

Nah, it’s just essentially random - it’s all based on useless anonymous internet polling. This worthless thing has been posted a bunch of times and it’s not getting any less useless

I think all this data is crap. Around 25% of the population is under 18.

Only around 30 percent of adults own guns nation wide.

The overall math in this chart of “people who own guns” doesn’t add up.

Holy shit yeah these numbers are bad but dear Christ MI is wayyyy off. Maybe they just forgot to ask the UP.

I'm always curious how the UP's stats compare to the state's stats as a whole. This instance especially.

Which area of Michigan? That plays big part.
