What are some jaw dropping stats?

Americans made up 4 percent of the world's population but owned about 46 percent of the entire global stock of 857 million civilian firearms."[5] U.S civilians own 393 million guns. American civilians own more guns "than those held by civilians in the other top 25 countries combined."[6] "American civilians own nearly 100 times as many firearms as the U.S. military and nearly 400 times as many as law enforcement."[7] Americans bought more than 2 million guns in May 2018, alone.[7] That is more than twice as many guns, as possessed by every law enforcement agency in the United States put together.[7] In April and May 2018, U.S. civilians bought 4.7 million guns, which is more than all the firearms stockpiled by the United States military.[7] In 2017, Americans bought 25.2 million guns, which is 2.5 million more guns than possessed by every law enforcement agency in the world put together.[7] Between 2012 and 2017, U.S. civilians bought 135 million guns, 2 million more guns than the combined stockpile of all the world's armed forces.[7]
I’ve never seen it laid out in this metric before but Jesus, Americans love them some guns.

Americans have bought almost 29 million guns this year, which is more than 2019 and we still have three months of data remaining.

Yes, I'm sure other countries have thought about attacking us, but then said "wait, there's a bunch of slack-jawed yokels with assault rifles there. Nevermind."
Had nothing to do with our nuclear arsenal or the fact that most countries are financially dependent on us.
You'd suck at Jeopardy!

So the last time a person disagreed with my assumption was about 75 years ago? And no other country has disagreed since?
