Anzahl der Waffen pro Kopf nach Ländern

The United States stands alone when it comes to gun ownership — with over 120 firearms for every 100 residents, meaning there are more guns than people.

But the U.S. doesn’t just own the most guns — it also produces the most, manufacturing millions of civilian firearms each year. American companies like Smith & Wesson, Ruger, and Colt dominate global production, showing just how deeply firearms are embedded in U.S. culture.

By comparison, most other countries are far behind: Yemen (52.8), Serbia (39.1), and Finland (32.4) are among the few nations with relatively high rates, while much of Asia, Africa, and South America have fewer than 10 guns per 100 people.

Very few things make me proud to be British, this is one of them.

How can Portugal and Thailand do that?

Russia – 12 guns per 100 people? I’m calling BS.
Unless it includes military, law enforcement etc weapons.
Anyway, the „Number of guns per capita“ title with „number of guns per 100 people“ small print indicates it’s a rage bate

Portugal? Guns?

r/MapsWithoutGreenland … And Iceland

Interesting that Canada is so high. You would expect gun laws to be extremely restrictive in this country.

Jesus Christ that’s disgraceful.

I’m sure Spain is way wrong. Many people have old unregistered guns that they keep as family relics, many from the civil war.

Of course there’s no way to track those guns.

Everyone should have more.

this is pretty sad, now i remember about the school shooter drills in US

In Finland there’s a lot of guns (that highlighed 32,4 for people not recognizing from the map), but problems related to them are really rare, mostly criminals and junkies shooting each other with illegal guns.

Legal guns are only used and carried at tracks and in the forest for hunting. Other than that always in locked cabinet. There’s no culture (and it’s illegal) to carry gun with you for self defense.

Lol why are we like this 🇺🇸😅

Is this counting military and legal guns?

I am German and i have 2 Shotguns, 2 Rifles and 2 Handguns. Few People have weapons, but those that do (Hunters and Sport Shooters) have a lot.

As a U.S. citizen, I am disgusted and appalled at the number of guns in my country. I would love the second amendment removed, and no one own guns. Alas, the gun nuts are never going to give up their weapons no matter how bad the slaughter is.

It’s the only reason Japan didn’t attack Mainland USA. He said there is gun behind every blade of grass.

Yemen 51st state when?

*Freedom per capita

Brazil can’t be correct…

Unless this shows “number of **registered** guns per capita”

We have three people in our house, and 10 guns.

All but two of those were inherited when my father-in-law died. They are all locked up in a gun safe, and are only taken out when we go to the range to shoot.

Make the World Blue Again

I sit corrected. It was Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto .

These maps tend to not show why Americans have so many guns per capita. It’s because our hobbies are more likely to use guns than average in the world.

Let’s say somebody hunts deer, small game, and shoots clay pigeons. A gun used to hunt deer would blow small game to smithereens, and a gun used to hunt small game would barely affect deer. That’s two guns right there, and then there would likely be a third for the clay pigeons. Keep in mind that all of these guns would be locked up unless this person is actively hunting or target shooting. But it does make the numbers look skewed.

That’s not to say there isn’t a problem with gun violence in the US, because we all know that there is. But the vast majority of guns are tied up with hunters, sport shooters, and collectors.
