    Reminder that as of 2025, the US is the only country with more privately owned guns than people, at 120.5 guns per 100 people… The 2nd highest is the Falkland Islands at 62.1 guns per 100 people.

      Do the Falklands count as a country? I’m not sure what the situation is there.

      Also, New Zealand is pretty high up on the list.

      Seriously though, what the fuck is the civilian excuse for guns on the Falklands? The only native natural predator that could hurt the sheep is long extinct. I guess they’re afraid the sheep will have a revolution.

          If the Argentine army lands, drafting the sheep and giving them guns isn’t going to stop an occupation any more than it did before.
