Ammo.com analyzed surveys and sales reports and the findings are interesting and quite surprising.
Some highlights
As of 2017, American civilians owned 46% (approximately 393.3 million) of the world’s 857 million civilian-use firearms. (Source)
Estimates based on a 2017 survey suggest that there are 1.2 guns per person in the U.S.
However, more recent estimates show at least one million firearms have been purchased in the U.S. per month since March of 2020. A more realistic estimate in 2025 is 1.5 guns per person in the U.S., or 1.79 guns per U.S. adult
- Montana has the highest percentage of gun owners, with 66.3% of residents reporting firearm ownership.
- Alaska, Idaho, Montana, West Virginia, and Wyoming have the highest rates of gun ownership in the U.S.
- Massachusetts and New Jersey have the fewest number of gun owners at only 14.7% of the population.
State-level firearm ownership data may skew low due to restraints. All information regarding gun ownership is largely dependent on self-reporting, and states are less likely to publish gun ownership data than national databases.

AND YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH US OWNING THAT MANY GUNS??? IT’S WHAT HAS KEPT US A FREE AND SOVERIGN NATION OVER THE CENTURIES. LOOK AT EUROPE, NO GUNS IN THE HANDS OF THE POPULATION ONLY MUSLIMS CAN HAVE GUNS AND RPGS, LOOK AT AFRICA WHERE CHRISTIANS ARE SLAUGHTERED DAILY BY MUSLIMS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO GUNS TO DEFEND THEMSELVES… Read more »
Good call on Mexico. They have one of the most restrictive policies on personal firearm ownership – to the point you really can’t legally own one. So that MUST be a really safe place for all the liberals to relocate, right? Give ’em all one way tickets!
“…all information regarding gun ownership is largely dependent on self-reporting…”
Just like you are a fool to put financial information on your phone, you are a fool to tell the world that you have a firearm (or nine).
46%? Come on people, those are rookie numbers, we gotta bump that up.
We’re a little above average at 2 guns per person in my family. If I had a better place to practice, I’d buy more.
