Ahhh, registered guns per 1000 people. That makes a bit more sense, but is still probably not all that useful, as the vast majority of guns in the US are unregistered. AFAICT this is just counting NFA-registered weapons, such as fully automatic guns, destructive devices, short-barreled rifles, suppressors, etc.

Ah, but it does provide a hint that the number of guns might not be the primary determining factor.
> Texas might have, historically, a better gun culture?
My guess would also involve "Texas's gun culture hasn't been killed off by state laws", as in California.
