    This is a link to a great article about firearm ownership here and around the world.

    https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-06-22/americans-now-own-40-worlds-one-billion-guns

    Takeaways:
    1-There are about a billion firearms worldwide, including government and civilian held.
    2-40% are in the U.S.
    3-There are more guns in the U.S. than in the next 24 highest combined.
    4-There are 125.5 guns per 100 people in the U.S.
    5-In the Western world there is no correlation between rate of gun ownership and gun violence

    I think if Louisiana seceded from the Union, the U.S. would drop to about number 20.

    Karp said the new estimate of global firearms is significantly higher than the 875 million weapons determined in the 2007 survey, with 650 million civilian-held guns at that time.

    The Obama years were good to gun manufacturers...

    The 1st Democrat Rule scare everyone into the vote for them. This backfired.
    Guns, free stuff {someone has ti oaty for it and everyone is was tired of it}
    I worked with a guy, He dyed in the wool Dem. He said he would vote for a German Shepard if that was the only thing on the ticket on the Dem side of the fence. Was a retired Teamster too. He loved Bill Hillery and Obama.

    these numbers don’t account for all the guns the ATF and other alphabet devils are hiding and running around the globe..
