An international estimate of civilian firearms stocks in 2017 put the United States at about 120.5 guns per 100 residents, the highest rate among the countries assessed. This is an estimate of the number of guns, not the share of people who own one. CDC data recorded 44,447 firearm deaths in the United States in 2024, including 27,593 suicides, about 62%.
