Plenty of Western countries with lots of guns that don’t have the same issues with gun violence.

Not nearly as many guns. No other country even has half as many guns per person as the US. But, even the ones that have a few guns (plus the ones that have almost no guns) have strictly enforced gun control laws, and treat gun ownership as a privilege not a right.

This actually happens?

Almost, if I can believe this Wikipedia article Falkland Islands has just over half as much as the US.

Nah I’m just kidding.

I can imagine why that might be. But, the Falkland Islands aren’t a country. I would guess that if you go province by province, state by state, territory by territory, you can probably find others with very high gun ownership rates.

As a Mint user, you got me worried about the community I’m in (^^;

Well, yes, the Falkland Islands.
Out of the completely sovereign countries, Yemen would be second place, though the US more-than-doubles their gun ownership per 100 civilians indeed.
Now, Falkland Islands and Yemen also have far, far fewer guns than the US; their high gun ownership comes in part from their small population.
India and China rank second and third in total guns owned by civilians, but purely through their sheer population. Gun ownership per 100 civilians ranks low in China (3.6%) and so-so in India (5.3%).Don’t get me wrong, the fact that the US only barely doesn’t double some tiny territory’s gun ownership by population, still speaks volumes for the US’s insane level of gun ownership!

I wonder about things like Canada’s Nunavut, the North West Territories, Finnmark in Norway, etc.
Those are places where I wouldn’t be surprised if every rural household had a gun, either for hunting or for protection from bears. But, they’re also relatively poor, so there probably aren’t a lot of houses with multiple guns. But, it’s possible that there’s one with Falkland Islands levels of gun ownership, maybe even US gun ownership per person, just with far fewer people.
