What Are the Most Popular Gun-Related Hashtags on Instagram?

The conversation has turned more political, with #2A (Second Amendment) now appearing more often than #Gun.

On social media everything is up for discussion, including guns. While there is some controversy around the sale of guns on social sites, this doesn’t stop people talking about them. Instagram has become a very popular gun discussion location, according to a report from NetQuote.com.

NetQuote scraped Instagram for 12 gun-related hashtags, analyzed almost 6 million total posts and nearly half a million geotagged posts containing one or more of the 12 hashtags, taking into account frequency in each state per 100,000 posts and cross-referenced the data with CDC firearm mortality rates.
