    Americans Have More Guns Than Anywhere Else in the World

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...uverify%20wall

    US has 120.5 firearms per 100 residents, report finds Only country with more civilian-owned firearms than people.

    US gun owners possess 393.3 million weapons, according to a 2018 report by the Small Arms Survey, a Geneva-based organization, which is higher than the country’s population now of about 330 million. India, which has almost 1.4 billion people, had the second most civilian-owned firearms with 71.1 million.

    We also own more autos per capita than any other country over 10,000,000 people, more televisions per capita, more sq ft of living space, more many things.

    Besides, 120 per 100 persons is very conservative.

    As long as the numbers keep growing for the rest of my life, I'll be content!

    Well, the wife and I own a little over 40 so just round it off at 20:1. Maybe 8 or so see regular use plus the 3 carry guns so let's just call it say 4 or 5:1 for actual "need".

    Seems like a whole lot of the US is slacking. We got work to do.

    I'm doing my part.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    If a did own any firearms, I’m sure it would a lot.
    A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.

    Honestly, I'm good with those numbers.

    50% of this country are people who have no business owning anything that requires more than a 4th grade level of responsibility and that includes firearms. I think most of the right people have guns and it's a small percentage of the wrong people who lawfully own firearms.

    I just wish more of the right people had a little more training.
