Number of guns per 100 inhabitants

  1. There must be a heavy concentration on single individuals. 30% weapons in Germany per person? Never. I’ve never known someone who owns a gun – despite my MIL who came from the US and my father who was a police officer.

  2. Fun additional fact: there’s basically no correlation between these numbers and amount of violent crime in each country. Neither more or less guns makes a society more or less dangerous within Europe.

  3. I really hate how it doesn’t account for political or cultural context. Can you imagine Finland without armed reserve troops or France without armed hunters? I can’t. There are people (mostly outside of city’s) with legitimate use cases for firearms.

  4. Unfortunately that number is much higher for Croatia. Most of my neighbours have some illegal/unregistered weapones from the war in the 90s
