The United States has maintained a unique status as the only country with more guns than people for over ten years, housing 45% of the world’s civilian firearms.
The American arms industry thrived in 2023, generating over $90 billion, an economic output comparable to that of small European nations like Bulgaria and Luxembourg.
Recent trends reveal an unprecedented surge in firearm sales, with nearly 70 million guns bought by Americans in the last five years alone, surpassing total sales from previous decades.
Shifting societal attitudes towards gun ownership are reflected in extensive Pew Research surveys, highlighting a dynamic American gun culture rather than a static one.
