Check out our blog for some crypto-related data visualizations.Machine guns, 50 caliber weapons, and bump stocks are extremely dangerous and have no place in civilian hands. My latest project, Elementus, aims to bring transparency to the cryptocurrency market. The ATF does not release information about who the registered owners are, but if anyone has an idea, I would love to know. Could they really have the need for 9,000 machine guns? I have an even harder time seeing why the police would own thousands of silencers or short-barrel shotguns. I’m sure police departments account for much of it, but there are only 50,000 police officers in New York. The presence in any room, dwelling, structure or vehicle of any machine-gun is presumptive evidence of its unlawful possession by all persons occupying the place where such machine-gun is found. Even being in the same room as a machine gun is enough to get you in trouble:
In theory, all Class III weapons are completely banned in New York. Who owns all these weapons registered in New York? The obvious question for Arizona: What is the legality of tying two of these machine guns together, thereby creating a pair of “gunchucks?” Arizona, one of the states that bans nunchucks, ranks #9 overall with 16 NFA-registered weapons per 1,000 residents.Ironically, many of these weapons are owned by Hollywood, an industry that includes some of the loudest voices supporting gun control. Yet, it ranks #2 in terms of total number of registered weapons ( Texas is #1). California is well known to have some of the strictest gun control laws in the U.S.Oklahoma‘s total NFA registrations are lower than the national average, but the number of silencers registered is the second highest per capita.Washington D.C., which does not appear on the map, has the second highest number of NFA weapons per capita, with 62 per 1,000 residents.I have not managed to figure out why, but there must be an interesting story there. In Wyoming, which has a population of only about 600,000, there are over 100,000 “destructive devices” registered.New Hampshire also happens to have the lowest murder rate. The state with most machine guns per capita is New Hampshire, with 7.4 for every 1,000 residents.(Many firearms with bores over 0.50″ inch, such as 12-gauge shotguns, are exempted from the law because they have been determined to have a “legitimate sporting use”.) Grenade launchers can be legally purchased, though each grenade has to be individually registeredĭestructive Devices - there are two broad classes of destructive devices:ġ) Devices such as grenades, bombs, explosive missiles, poison gas weapons, etc.Ģ) Any firearm with a bore over 0.50 inch except for shotguns or shotgun shells which have been found to be generally recognized as particularly suitable for sporting purposes.This category does not include non-portable devices, such as sound traps used by gunsmiths in their shops which are large and usually bolted to the floor.

Suppressors - this includes any portable device designed to muffle or disguise the report of a portable firearm.Short-barreled shotguns - this category is defined similarly to SBRs, but the barrel must be under 18″ or a minimum overall length under 26″.The category also includes firearms which came from the factory with a buttstock that was later removed by a third party. The overall length is measured with any folding or collapsing stocks in the extended position. Short-barreled rifles - this category includes any firearm with a buttstock and either a rifled barrel under 16″ long or an overall length under 26″.The weapon’s receiver is by itself considered to be a regulated firearm.Ī non-machinegun that may be converted to fire more than one shot per trigger pull by ordinary mechanical skills is determined to be “readily convertible”, and classed as a machinegun, such as a KG-9 pistol (pre-ban ones are “grandfathered”). Both continuous fully automatic fire and “burst fire” (i.e., firearms with a 3-round burst feature) are considered machine gun features.
Machine guns - this includes any firearm which can fire more than 1 cartridge per trigger pull.
