Original Note:
People seeing this meme may incorrectly think that gun ownership brings greater freedom. In reality, Yemen (a non-free country) is second in gun ownership to the USA while many other nations with fewer guns are consistently rated as more free. Also indeed much safer. https://wisevoter.com/country-rankings/gun-ownership-by-country/#:~:text=Foreign%20Relations-,Introduction,52.8%20firearms%20per%20100%20people. https://www.cato.org/human-freedom-index/2022 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30817955/
