America Is #1 in Gun ownership & Gun Deaths

 Hartmann Report - America has just a bit more than 4 percent of the world’s population, but, with more guns than people in our country, we have more than 40 percent of all the civilian guns in the world. Specifically, as a Swiss-based research group found, there are “approximately 857 million civilian-held firearms in the world’s 230 countries and territories” and, as ABC News points out, in America there are “over 393 million firearms in civilian possession” as of 2017.  About ten million more have been sold in the US since then: we are the only nation in the world with more guns than people.
