Reminder that as of 2025, the US is the only country with more privately owned guns than people, at 120.5 guns per 100 people… The 2nd highest is the Falkland Islands at 62.1 guns per 100 people.
Seriously though, what the fuck is the civilian excuse for guns on the Falklands? The only native natural predator that could hurt the sheep is long extinct. I guess they’re afraid the sheep will have a revolution.
That’s more of a llama area when it comes to large angry herbavores. They actually supposedly ended up doing just that with the llamas and then had to hunt them down.

lol git gud Falkland Islands
But, seriously, that’s not great.
Do the Falklands count as a country? I’m not sure what the situation is there.
Also, New Zealand is pretty high up on the list.
Yesn’t. They are self-governing but that’s very limited. Most of the important stuff (foreign relations, defense, …) is handled by the UK.
They’re self-governing, which I guess is enough.

Might be due to the conflicts with Argentina? Honestly not sure.
If the Argentine army lands, drafting the sheep and giving them guns isn’t going to stop an occupation any more than it did before.
They should import emus.

I have very little knowledge about llamas. I heard they’re feisty but I’ve never seen one in the flesh.
Closest thing I’m familiar with are alpacas and camels.
