Any one know if or where I can get information on the # of Guns purchased per Zipcode in Maryland, or for a specific county? Just wanted to do some research. Thanks.
You might be able to do a PIA request. I would bet the State has something to that effect that they compile.
I applaud anyone's interest in crunching the numbers. The anti's lie with misleading, incomplete, and irrelevant statistics that sound impressive.
It's time we take to the stats and speak truth to the lies. The NRA should lead on this. The NRA could probably generate a helpful list of the gross number of members (without identifying them) per zip code, or by other geography like county or election district, if it was willing to divulge it -- and it probably isn't.
I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that the zips with the highest "gun crime" per capita also are among those with the lowest NRA membership per capita. And vice-versa.
I believe Maryland has the data. Its illegal in MD to share specific names or addresses though

Yep, OweMalley was boasting about that a year or so ago
You've probably already thought of this, but I'm still going to run the risk of boring you.Im not looking at individual purchasers, just a # of guns purchased in a given zipcode. It would be interesting to compare that to crime statistics in the same zipcode. I work with maps every day, just intereested in doing a little spatial analysis.
