Countries which have the most guns per capita
The Small Arms Survey, an independent research project in Switzerland, has ranked countries worldwide according to the number of privately owned guns in the hands of its citizens. It's no surprise that USA tops the charts with as many as 89 guns for every 100 people. Thousands of people are killed and injured every year in US due to gun violence. Some countries in this list have high gun ownership due to prolonged civil war. Surprisingly, countries with the lowest crime rates also feature in this list. India sits well below the list ranked 110 out of 178 countries with approximately 4 guns per 100 people. Following are the countries with the most guns per capita:
