As a non-gun owner myself, all I can say is thank God I live in a country where I can get one if I need to.

the United States, which the study estimates has between 83 and 96 guns for every 100 people

Yeah, but I really skew the numbers up. I'm sure I'm not the only one with an assortment of lenders in case the neighbors need to borrow.

And I'm still short a 30-30 model 94 and a 12 gauge.

Of course the number of guns per 100 people doesn't tell the whole story. Also important is the number of individuals, or even of households, that own one or more guns. If you count the "issue" rifle or pistol that most Swiss men have in their closet somewhere, the Swiss come out on top. Notice that they aren't even mentioned, because technically the Swiss Army owns those guns, until the person completes his required "militia" service, which is at a fairly old age( about my age maybe? :) ) , and then they may retain them for a small charge. Meanwhile they are free to use them, and many do, just not for nefarious purposes.

Americans are the most heavily armed!

Certainly, we have the most to defend!

Our Constitution recognized it would take ARMED CITIZENS to confront ANY bastards that wish to deprive us of life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness..

We may yet be forced to prove the wiseness of that provision....given the behavior of the "enemy within"...

Semper Fi

The study said Americans are most armed in the world, followed by Finns and Yememis.

I think this is the first time, for any reason, that I've ever seen Finns and Yemenis bracketed together.

AMERICANS OWN LARGEST NUMBER OF FIREARMS IN WORLD

1. That's because we have the most to lose.

2. That's because we have what everybody else wants.

3. That's because we have the most dangerous criminals. And some are not even elected.

4. That's because there are a lot of tasty things running around in our forests and prairies.

5. That is so we can make the world a better place for all the idiots that cannot or will not defend themselves.

And a few other lesser reasons.
