How does Europe compare with the US on gun ownership?
Gun ownership per capita in the US is more than three times that of Europe’s highest country.
There were 39.1 firearms per 100 people in Montenegro, compared with 120 in the US, according to the Small Arms Survey (SAS)
Around 46% of all 857 million guns in civilian hands around the world belonged to people living in the United States in 2017, a survey has found.
The SAS
found that gun ownership among civilians (84.6%) dwarfed state militaries (13.1%) and law enforcements’ (2.2%) stockpiles, and that number had grown by more than 200 million since 2006.
In total, it is thought that there are more than 1 billion firearms in possession across 230 countries and autonomous territories around the world.
