Few Civilians Own Guns In Hungary
The number of people who own guns in Hungary is low compared to many other countries, the director of strategic and defence research company Globserver said on Tuesday.

A total of 128,000 handguns are owned by civilians in Hungary, including hunters, people involved in shooting sports and others with a firearms licence, Zoltán Varga told public news channel M1.

As against an average 1.9 handguns per hundred people, in the western Balkans region this rate ranges between 30 and 50, he said.
