So take the United States out and compare European countries only.

First number here is average total of civilian firearms, second is number killed by firearms.

France 19 million guns, 35 killed by firearm

Spain 4.5 million guns, 90 killed by firearm

Switzerland 3.5 million guns, 57 killed by firearm

Poland 510,000 guns, 35 killed by firearm
