International US Citizens own 40% of the world's firearms?

[P7M13]

I'll have to remember this number next time my wife complains if I want to buy a gun -- I'm not even close to carrying my weight.

Whoa, I'm slacking too. Now if only my bank account would get bigger to facilitate this....

ETA: I mistakenly grabbed the 46% number from George Washington above. 40% is the figure givin in the OP so my numbers are fubar and I don't want to recalculate.

California owns a crapton but they have to keep them in their closets which is gay.

So if my Iphone math is correct....

World population is estimated 7.442 BILLION
US population is 327 Million

So the US only accounts for roughly 4.4% of the worlds population yet owns an estimated 46% of the guns. Nice!

No, it's not nice!

It is gun inequality!

That's not fair!

All those poor people without guns!

The government should buy them guns!

And what is guns without ammo?!?

If they can't afford ammo, and you don't buy them any, then your are denying them their gun rights - so the government needs to buy them ammo too!

I love it when "statistics" that are supposed to give you a chill provide warm fuzzies instead.

It's like when I'm trolling anti-gun sites and all of my pop-ups are selling me gun stuff. Yeah, it's annoying that my pop-up blocker doesn't work... but hey, free shipping this weekend!!!
I could use another 1000 .223...

They can have mine after they take it from me.

I'm doing my best to keep maintain that ranking!

 

[Diamondback]

The Democrats do. Why do you think they're so upset.

Other than still being salty that we took their slaves away?

The straight fact is 75.3% of statistics are made up on the spot. Who do you believe?

Yep. I only believe about half of what I hear 100% of the time. Give or take...

 

[titsonritz]

That 3% number has been highly debated as being inaccurate but if it works with your wife then rock on.

E

Apparently, almost everyone I know is a 3%'er.

I know, I really gotta step it up, I'm feeling a little inadequate here, I used to be considered a super owner, now I don't even make the bottom of the list, what happend? I didn't sell any thing, so............................

 

[OldBroad44]

They can have mine after they take it from me.

I plan to cooperate fully if anyone tries to take my guns--my Jennings .22 and Charter Arms Bulldog. As for the Smith revolvers, alas, I lost them in an embarrassing swimming accident. (I don't have a boat.)

Well, I definitely don't hear 100% of the time... so I'm jealous!!

If I took ALL my Smiths swimming, I wouldn't even sink...
