Guns per 100 civilians
Data from the year 2007
Data from Small Arms Survey

Mapped areas have a blue border around them. Areas without data are either blue or transparent.

Totally white corresponds to a data value of 0; totally red corresponds to a data value of 90.

Click on the blue markers to get more information about how the map was created or where the data came from.

Unfortunately it doesn't resolve beyond the national level (individual states, e.g.), but the international comparisons are still interesting.
