Gun ownership varies significantly around the world. More than 175 of the world’s countries allow their citizens to own firearms—though most have specific regulations on ownership, such as banning certain types of firearms.
According to research from the World Population Review, the United States has the highest rates of gun ownership in the world. No other nation comes close.
Mexico, Guatemala, and the United States have gone one step further and made gun ownership a constitutional right. That said, even those countries may place limits on certain types of firearms, such as when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a temporary ban on certain assault rifles and high-capacity magazines from 1994-2004. On the other hand, civilian ownership of firearms is banned outright in North Korea and Eritrea.
The most recent comprehensive survey of gun ownership worldwide was released in 2017 by the Small Arms Survey, which tallied the number of firearms (registered and unregistered) owned by civilians, the military, and law enforcement agencies for each country in the survey. The results were illuminating, though not entirely surprising for many experts on firearms policy.
With 120.5 civilian-owned firearms per 100 people, the United States has the highest rate of civilian gun ownership in the world—nearly double that of the second-place country, in fact. Civilians owned an estimated 393,347,000 total firearms in the United States in 2017 (measured against a 2017 population of 326,474,000). While many U.S. residents own no guns at all, many others own multiple guns—the end result of which is that the U.S. is home to more guns than people.
An ABC News article about the survey pointed out that the U.S. has “less than 5% of the world’s population, but 40% of the world’s civilian-owned guns.” Given the ongoing frequency of gun violence in the United States, particularly gun-enabled suicides and mass shootings in schools, places of worship, and businesses, many people believe that gun laws should be revised and tightened. However, gun control is a highly politicized issue in the U.S., which makes nationwide reforms difficult to pass.
Some of the countries with the most restrictive firearm laws are China, India, Japan, Singapore, and Vietnam. Taiwan and Indonesia have the lowest gun ownership rates possible, with zero civilian firearms per 100 people. Guns, however, are not banned in either of these countries. Taiwan only allows shotguns, handguns, and regular rifles, and a background check and license are required for all guns. In Indonesia, firearms are sold and handled by the Weapons Officers of the Indonesian National Police. Indonesian law requires a background check, no ties or connections to radical groups, and a completed firearms safety class on top of other necessary qualifications.

https://youtu.be/WA3G-7fMqUM?si=xErb40EZVlkD_5Xm hard to find videos of people connecting the biblical Magog and gog to China and the rest of the soviets, but found one.
Need America to annex Greenland, whole Canada to get ready. Though it is true, the Bible does say Jacob will be at the yoke of his enemies but they won’t outright destroy it. So they won’t pummeled us completely but it will get hard. It will get bumpy.
As I look at Taiwan, was there a few days ago, and the energy in that country is different from the energy in China. Communism, plus it’s prophetic role, makes even the people in China’s attitude ruder compared to Taiwan aligned with the Jacob system. Even the history of Taiwan, is like a broken love story, when the communist push Chiank Kai shek out to Taiwan, it was destiny prophetically. If it had happened otherwise, China would have been like Taiwan and the attitudes. It would have been a relatively good world!
The Chinese president has that attitude of defiance and pompousness in him, even as he meets up other Asian neighbor countries’ leaders I noticed. Better Japan to start mobilizing full support with USA.
Zero communism allowed!
Cheers,
Amen. Zero Communism allowed. Communism comes disguised as Democrats, Rino Republicans, LBQGT, and DEI. It is true that communists and leftists are more rude, pompous, and self righteous.
We are under a gun grab in Canada, there are several hunting rifles included which is ridiculous on it’s face but this is the direction. No political party opposes either, so this is how it’s going to be here for registered weapons. Some of us have been made criminals if we do not comply and our legal methods to resist have been infiltrated and co-opted by the apostate system.
This will not stop the slaughter of innocents, that is a requirement of the occult and apostate system – the same people who are taking the guns. Can evil fix itself?
I did a quick search for “Gun control in Adolph Hitler’s Germany” and found arguments from both side of the gun control argument. The so-called “fact checkers”, who I regard as often censorious and who offer little actual factual counter arguments, said that reports of Hitler expanding the gun control laws of the Weimar republic were a “conspiracy theory”, had little in the way of facts to back up their argument. A book by Halbrook argues the opposite, and with facts and citations. Review here:

I have almost zero trust in the state any more. I like the idea of a well armed populace. I like the idea of a government in fear of its citizens. There is a problem however. The citizenry needs to be organized enough to strike actual fear into the bureaucratic and political monsters of the government and of the people in their employ who will do their dirty work.
A well armed and regulated militia? I do not see it on either side of the border. I see some wanna be militias but often these groups feature large numbers of extremely obese individuals who would hardly constitute a proper fighting force that could be a counter balance to government over reach.
I do see an ever growing and successful Orwellian police surveillance state. It penetrates these militias and whomever else might form a counter balance to tyrannical government.
I have no good answer.
Secondly, all the gun ownership is a moot point if the person holding the weapon is merely a saber rattler who does not have the stones to pull the trigger and kill. It is a large concept to have thouht about in killing someone in advance and to have made the decision to do so and under what circumstances.. If we do end up with yet more tyrannical government who demand all personal weapons be surrendered, who will acquiesce and who will actually fire on the police, or whatever thug group comes for their property, knowing that they will likely die in the ensuing firefight? Lots of brave words from individuals about “pry it from my cold dead fingers”. How many are mentally prepared to do just that and end up dead in defence of their property?
If enough people did do just that, the tyrannanical government would likely back down as their enforcers had their morale eroded knowing that each or most weapons seizures would result in a to the death fire fight. But how many have that kind of actual resolve? How many tattle tale neighbours would back the government and tattle in advance about how many weapons you have and where they are? This assumes that one would be so foolish as to tell your neighbors what you have,but spouses etc have a way of blabbing on. We saw that sort of tattle tale behaviour during the Wuhan virus hoax with their population control lockdowns..
I have very little faith in modern Americans and Canadians to have the spine to oppose government. They do exist these people , but are these people organized and able to bring an organized fight to tyrannical government.
I have to admit that currently I like what I see Herr Trump doing to erase the idiocy of Obama in his three terms (senile Biden was merely a figurehead IMO). Will it be enough to reverse the damage caused by the evil people? I do not know.
Sidebar question for Stone, or indeed anyone. I know to avoid major urban centres and woke liberal areas on both sides of the border when the really hard times start.
Where exactly geographically would Stone or anyone recommend in the US and in Canada?
It is a misconception that Hitler disarmed the Germans. He did inherit gun control laws from the Weimar government, but he did reverse them later. There are volumes of misconceptions about him and WW2!
I remember reading an account by a Jewish kid who was 17 years old at the time.
The Gestapo visited his house to view his machine gun collection. He showed it to them and they asked a few questions about where he got the guns and what he did with them.
Once satisfied that he was just collecting them for his own use and not for supplying insurgents they bid him good day and apologised for the inconvenience, and that was it. He said they were quite pleasant about it, and left him alone afterwards.
Solzhenitsyn explained in simple terms why people should have guns. George Washington did too – if the people are scared of the government, then that is tyranny.
Solzhenitsyn quote were he says it, without saying it! You must understand, the leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. It cannot be overstated. Bolshevism committed the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant and uncaring about this enormous crime is proof that the global media is in the hands of the perpetrators.
Those pee shooters and AR15’s may help you take out the hungry fat dudes looking for food. But the military isn’t coming to your front door. They have flame throwers that can shoot from a mile away now and sizzle and entire area. There is also the satellite direct energy weapons that were supposedly used to start fires in Hawaii and the recent Malibu fires. Guns aren’t going to help anyone. People can buy all the paperweights and dust collecters they want, the days of fighting in trenches are in the past. All this 2nd amendment talk is used to boost sales revenue for the gun manufacturers. They aren’t going to put an end to that cash cow.
