Unbelievable

The only magazine that I subscribe to is TIME. My favorite part of the magazine is the section called NUMBERS. This week's numbers blew my mind....

ARMED AMERICA
90
Number of guns in the U.S. for every 100 citizens, according to the 2007 Small Arms Survey, making it the most heavily armed country in the world. India has the second largest civilian gun-arsenal tally, with just 4 guns per 100 people.

4.5 Million
Number of new guns purchased in the U.S. each year, more than half of the 8 million produced worldwide.

90 out of 100 for the U.S., and FOUR out of 100 for 2nd place?? That's not a typo?? The numbers section is my favorite too.
