It is not surprising that the US takes first place in the list of countries with the largest collection of weapons. What surprises is the comparison with other parts of the world: on the rest of the planet, there is one weapon for every ten people. In the United States, nine out of ten. In the United States, we can find 5% of all the population in the world and 30% of all weapons, something around 275 million. This statistic tends to rise, as Americans buy more than half of all manufactured arms in the world.
