Civilians own approximately 650 million firearms worldwide, roughly 75 per cent of the known total.

Civilians in the United States own some 270 million of these.

- There are at least 875 million combined civilian, law enforcement, and military firearms in the world today.

- This is equal to roughly one gun for every seven people worldwide (without the United States, the figure drops to about one gun for every ten people).

- These figures do not include older, pre-automatic small arms still maintained by armed forces or craft-produced civilian guns.
