Vermont is on the list but not in the top 10. -- nm - Krusty Apr 11, 11:29 9
- note she said "per capita". Which is why I called it cherry picking - ty97 Apr 11, 11:30 8
  - Completely. It's a useless addition to the information about where the guns come from. - Krusty Apr 11, 11:32 6
    - 55 is not an insubstantial number when the highest is only 395 -- (edited) - the brain Apr 11, 11:35 1
      - I respected this post more when it was made by cat friends -- nm - crash davis Apr 11, 11:36
    - I don't think it is actually. Of course you're going to have fewer guns sold in VT than in VA but it may show patterns like straw buyers. - spamlet Apr 11, 11:34
    - Well it's not useless. She had a very specific use behind adding the words :) - ty97 Apr 11, 11:34 1
      - It's useless in that it doesn't matter how populous a state is in the discussion of where guns come from. It's useful for a politician - Krusty Apr 11, 11:36
    - with vermont cheddar cheese -- nm - decline Apr 11, 11:34
  - I want cherry pie -- nm - decline Apr 11, 11:31
