AN ESTIMATED 875m small arms are in circulation worlwide: one for every seven people on the planet. Nearly three-quarters of these are owned by civiliands. And about 80% of those guns in civilian hands are found in just 30 countries, accourding to the small Arms survey, a research group. Although America accounts for40% of firearms in civilian ownnership, people put them to more deadly use elsewhere. The gun murder rate in Olombia and South Africa, for example, is much higher than in America.
