1 Billion Indians - into 40 million guns = slacking behind the USA.
40/1000 = .04



In India, the annual income of most people is less than the cost of the gun

How hard is it to acquire a gun?
First you have to get a licence.

Applicants have to be at least 21 years old, and must prove a "genuine reason", such as a threat to their life, or an interest in target shooting.

Revenue authorities and police carry out a "thorough check" of the applicant's background. They must undergo a medical check-up to prove they are physically healthy, of sound mind, and able to handle a weapon. If the applicant has a criminal record, their request is turned down.

Civilians can only own handguns. They are not allowed to possess automatic firearms.

A person can own a maximum of three guns and the licence has to be renewed every three years.

She looks very awkward and unsafe operating the slide on the gun with her finger on the trigger.

We have handguns.
And automatic guns.

$1,990 for a revolver. That's over a years wages for most people there.

Sounds more like, "Profiteering" to me.

This is what ALL anti-gunners are thinking about when they talk about "common sense gun regulations". Seriously.

More women are raped to death in india than people who die in mass shootings in the USA. However, dont you think indians can sleep better at night knowing there country has such "common sense" gun control laws?
