The Nation with the Most Guns

The Nation with the Most Guns is the United States.  This fact was discussed on Fareed Zakaria’s GPS on Sunday, January 15, 2011.  The source of this data is smallarmssurvey.org.

#1 90 firearms per 100 people U.S.A.
#2 61 firearms per 100 people Yemen
#3 46 firearms per 100 people Switzerland
#13 31 firearms per 100 people Canada
#42 15 firearms per 100 people Mexico
#88 6 firearms per 100 people U.K.
 
Zakaria reported that 30% of all guns in the world are in the United States.  It’s no surprise that 50% of all new gun sales are in the United States.
 
Is it any wonder that gun deaths are reported every day in the United States?  Have our second amendment rights made us safer?
