  1. Add that the US figure is enhanced by a very small percentage of massive-owners (those that own more than 8 firearms). 50% of US small arms is owned by 3% of the population. The percentage of gun owners among the general population is no so different between US and several European countries (29% for US vs 22.6% for France for example).

  2. 0:55:00 seriously. There are no more big arms manufacturers in France and Britain, but there are in Germany, Austria, Italy and Czech Republic, with Austrian and Czech gun laws being particularly strict. It seems to be a simple question of competition more than gun laws. UE is a single market. The manufacturers that were located in Britain and France simply lost to the others. 1:07:42 this often repeated story of the different attitude of European officers in respect to "US and British ones" surely has no roots in the cartridges adopted. The .455 Webley was nothing exceptional for European standards (it was a little less powerful than the 10.35mm Italian Ordnance adopted 13 years before for that very same Chamelot Delvigne revolver, not to say of the .44 Russian) . The .45 Colt was very powerful for any contemporary standard, but it replaced a rather unimpressive cardridge (the .44 American) and was replaced by a very weak one (the .38 Long Colt)
