Hey gang: a ratio would be an expression such as 1:1, or 19:48, or 207:32. This is a number divided by another number, so it's a quotient; you could also call it an index or a coefficient.
Ratios expressed as a single number have an implied X:1 relationship.
Not counting things that are legally non-firearms (blackpowder, airguns, etc.) my ratio is currently 32/30 or 1.0(6). Add in the non-firearm guns and it creeps up to 1.2.
If I calculate it from birth, I ring in at .37.
If I calculate it from the number of years I could legally buy a handgun, I get a more respectable 1.6.
