As we all know, many guns are violent. I wanted to know where the most violent ones lived, so I downloaded the guardians spreadsheet
http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2012/jul/22/gun-homicides-ownership-world-list
I added a column which would compute the number of "gun murders" per "100,000 civilian guns". This would tell me which countries had the most aggressive guns. The spreadsheet has many "blanks" when it comes to the actual number of gun murders, so those are excluded. The others are interesting indeed.
Country | Gun Murders per 100,000 civilian guns
============= ============================
Bahamas 305
Brazil 233
Philippines 188
South Africa 139
Mexico 72
Argentinia 30
Netherlands 10
Italy 5.9
Turkey 5.9
Ireland 5.5
Portugal 4.8
Luxembourg 4.29
Belgium 3.89
US 3.39
It seems that our guns are fairly non violent ;-)
