This statistic shows total U.S. total arms imports in 2023 expressed in TIV, by country. The TIV is based on the known unit production costs of a core set of weapons and is intended to represent the transfer of military resources rather than the financial value of the transfer. The TIV is expressed here in million constant U.S. dollars as of 1990. In 2023, the U.S. arms imports from Germany totaled to about 69 million constant (1990) U.S. dollars. The depicted import value is only an indicator and does not correspond to the actual financial value of the transfers.

The United States has, by far, the highest rate of privately-owned guns per inhabitant. Deadly shootings have become a significant problem in the country. Yemen, the country with the second highest gun ownership rate worldwide, only has half of the U.S. rate.

This dataset provides values for WEAPONS SALES reported in several countries. The data includes current values, previous releases, historical highs and record lows, release frequency, reported unit and currency.

The United States had a market share of over 40 percent in international arms exports between 2020 and 2024. The second-largest suppliers of major weapons worldwide were France and Russia, accounting for 10 and eight percent of exports over the observed period, respectively. The United States, Russia, and France contributed 60 percent of major weapons exports between 2020 and 2024. Leading military spending countries Three decades after the end of the Cold War and the fall of the USSR, the United States is, by far, the largest defense spender in the world, even though the U.S. defense outlays have decreased since the peak of the Iraq and Afghan wars. However, China has increased military spending in the past decade, becoming the second-largest spender in the world, signaling a possible shift in the global balance of military power, and several European NATO members have increased military spending significantly after the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war. Leading military importers Meanwhile, the market share of imports shows India and Saudi Arabia are the largest buyers. Saudi Arabia also spends the third most on its military as a percentage of gross domestic product, with Ukraine first.

The average for 2022 based on 106 countries was 298.02 dollars. The highest value was in Qatar: 3342 dollars and the lowest value was in Antigua and Barbuda: 0 dollars. The indicator is available from 1960 to 2022. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

In 2023, 76.37 percent of homicides were committed by firearm in the United States, compared to 85.7 percent in 2021. This figure has been increasing since 2014, when 63.6 percent of homicides were committed by firearm. Firearms in the United States Firearms in the United States have become a large part of American culture. The Second Amendment of the Constitution protects the right to keep and bear arms. This amendment has been cited as a reason why gun control laws should not become stricter. However, many Americans are in favor of stricter gun control laws due to the increase of shootings in the country. Handguns were the most frequently used weapon used on murder victims in 2020, and overall, the United States was the country with the highest rate of civilian-owned firearms. Who owns firearms? Firearms are more popular in certain parts of the United States than others. Texas was the state with the highest number of registered weapons in 2021, with Florida, Virginia, California, and Pennsylvania rounding out the top five. Firearm laws vary from state to state, which means it is easier to obtain a firearm in some states than in others. Gun owners in the United States are typically white, and men are more likely to personally own a gun than women.

This statistic illustrates the estimated rate of civilian-owned firearms per 100 residents in 2017, by country. In that year, there were an estimated 120.5 civilian-owned firearms per 100 residents in the United States.

Mortality rate from firearms includes homicides, suicides, accidental deaths, deaths by law enforcement, and deaths for which intent was undetermined. Mortality rate is based on the location of residence and has been age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population. ICD 10 codes used to identify firearm deaths are W32-W34, X72-X74, X93-X95, Y22-Y24, Y35.0, and U01.4. Single-year data are only available for Los Angeles County overall, Service Planning Areas, Supervisorial Districts, City of Los Angeles overall, and City of Los Angeles Council Districts.Violence is a public health crisis in the US, with gun violence being a major driver. In the US, the age-adjusted homicide rate from firearms is more than 20 times higher than in the European Union or in Australia. Significant disparities by age, sex, and race and ethnicity exist, with young adults (ages 15-34 years), males, and Black individuals most disproportionately impacted. Firearm-related suicides disproportionately impact older, White men. Comprehensive prevention strategies should work to address underlying physical, social, economic, and structural conditions known to increase risk.For more information about the Community Health Profiles Data Initiative, please see the initiative homepage.

This data collection contains county-level counts of arrests and offenses for Part I offenses (murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, larceny, auto theft, and arson) and arrest counts for Part II offenses (forgery, fraud, embezzlement, vandalism, weapons violations, sex offenses, drug and alcohol abuse violations, gambling, vagrancy, curfew violations, and runaways). Two sets of county populations are reported: one for total county population and the other for counties reporting six months or more of data.

Introduction

Gun Violence Statistics:Â In recent years, gun violence has been a major issue that affects people all over the world, but especially in the United States. It includes incidents where guns are used to harm or kill people, either by accident, suicide, or in acts of violence like shootings. In 2025, the gun violence rate has slightly decreased, with fewer homicides and mass shootings from 2023. However, it remains a significant problem, with thousands of lives lost or injured every year.

This article includes several trends and factors from different insights that contribute to gun violence, such as easy access to firearms, mental health issues, and lack of proper gun control laws. Many efforts are being made to reduce gun violence, including new policies and community programs.​

The study constructed a comprehensive, longitudinal dataset of all counties nested within U.S. States from 1970 to 2012. The study's main purpose was to facilitate research that would further understanding on firearm legislation and its impacts on violence. This comprehensive data collection effort included information on firearm legislation implemented across U.S. States over time in combination with multiple measures of firearm-related violence and injury. Moreover, to better understand the conditions under which firearm legislation is more or less effective, incorporation of county characteristics allowed for examination of whether the effectiveness of state-level firearm legislation depends upon particular characteristics of counties. The researchers conducted a secondary analysis utilizing a variety of archived external government and census sources. The Study's Dataset Include two Stata Files: CJRC_firearms_research.dta (95 Variables, 129,027 Cases) state_law_data.dta (19 Variables, 2,168 Cases)

The industry players produce small arms and heavy weapons such as rocket launchers and artillery pieces. The industry players also manufacture the corresponding ammunition and explosive devices such as grenades, mines, torpedoes and guided missiles. Due to the dangerous nature of the sector's products, the customer market for weapons manufacturers in Germany consists primarily of state actors such as the military and police authorities in Germany and abroad. Due to a trend of rising demand for their products, domestic weapons manufacturers have been able to record very dynamic sales growth over the past five years. Since 2019, industry turnover has grown by an average of 10.8% per year.Over the past five years, developments in the sector have been characterised above all by the changing security situation in Europe. Many countries in the NATO defence alliance gradually increased their defence spending in response to the Russian annexation of Crimea in the years after 2014. In the years prior to 2014, this had often declined or stagnated in relation to the respective economic output. In the years that followed, numerous countries made up for investments in national security, meaning that the order situation for industry players has gradually improved since 2019, but a substantial change in the market environment did not occur until the Russian invasion of Ukraine in the spring of 2022. As a result, the leading suppliers in the industry in particular benefited increasingly from new major orders, which are intended to ensure Germany's military support for Ukraine and the provision of new large-scale equipment for the German Armed Forces. Due to the greatly improved utilisation of production capacities, the profitability of arms manufacturers has increased over the past five years despite higher material costs. The industry's turnover is expected to amount to 5.4 billion euros in the current year, which corresponds to an increase of 22.1% compared to the previous year. IBISWorld expects industry turnover to increase by an average of 7.7% annually over the next five years, reaching 7.9 billion euros in 2029. The forecast sales growth is likely to be driven by the continued increase in defence spending in Europe and the processing of orders received since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war in 2022.
