Hold up. The US has over 100 guns per 100 people? šŸ˜³ So on average, everyone owns at least one gun?

Good news: you can read a chart correctly!

Bad news: It seems that there are approximately 120 civilian owned firearms per 100 persons in the USA: 2017 survey. See particularly the ā€œEstimating Global Civilian-held Firearms Numbersā€ briefing paper and its annex. That seems to be the survey that most reports are based on. I donā€™t imagine the number has dropped over the interveneing years.

Global Firearms Holdings

There are more than one billion firearms in the world, the vast majority of which are in civilian hands.
