World map of civilian gun ownership. Guns (privately owned small firearms) per 100 capita in 2017. The Small Arms Survey 2017 provides estimates of the total number of civilian-owned guns in a country. It then calculates the number per 100 persons. This number for a country does not indicate the percentage of the population that owns guns. This is because individuals can own more than one gun.
