Disagree, - some of them are well known for it.
Unrelated to parent but still interesting: As far as I know Norway has (had?) one of the most well armed populations in the world. They learned a lesson after WW2 and until late 90ies weapons (G3-s at that time) and ammunition where stored in private homes (at least three of my best friends from childhood grew up with those in the house.)
- arethuza 12y agoPer 100 people the level in Norway at 31.3 is slightly less than Sweden (31.6) but much less than the US (90) and much more than the UK (6.6): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_guns_per_capita_by_country http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_guns_per_capita_by_co... NB Not trying to make a point - just found your comment interesting, looked up the numbers and thought I would share them!
- reitanqild 12y agoThanks! I thought we were at about the same level as US so this was interesting to me as well.
- wtbob 12y agoAverage ownership rates don't tell the whole story, of course: there are a lot of Americans with many guns and a lot with none, whereas other countries might have a more even rate. Percentage of households with firearms would be interesting; median ownership would be interesting too.
