This is a fun exercise. This probably isn't a complete list, but here we go:
USA: 46
Italy: 7
Argentina: 2
Czech Republic: 1
Canada: 1
Austria: 1
Japan: 1
Germany: 1
Israel: 1 (OH YEAH!)
And I would never -- repeat NEVER -- own a gun made by Chinamen.

USA is #1, no matter how you slice it... Colts, Rugers, Remingtons, Marlins, CVA, Savage, H&R, Dan Wesson, etc.
Italy (Pietta & Pedersoli black powder arms)
Hungary (FEG made some good stuff)
Germany (my only Mauser is a Luger)
China (had to have a poodle shooter)
A Russian, A Spaniard, possibly a Brazilian and a Czech are in the future.

My list is also like the UN as I like milsurp. I also once figured out the ammo I have used and it was like 30 countries!
Also the Mexican Mendoza factory did/does make real guns including a submachine gun. A 1911 clone with a rotary lockup, the Obregon was also made there as well as one of the first semi auto rifles ever used in combat, the Mondragon, was designed by a Mexican and produced by SIG.
France has produced a lot of firearms over the years and has had many gun companies, some quite good like Manurhin. A Frenchman invented smokeless powder as well.

Soon that will be swelled by more Americans and a few Czechs.

10 American from .22 handguns and rifles to 12 gauges.
2 Italian (muzzleloaders)
1 Turkish (shotgun)
1 Czech (.458WM in a mauser)
And for a while I've got a Japanese Browning 1886 carbine on loan to me. Surprised me alot. It's an amazingly well made rifle and a fantastic shooter if you have eyes good enough to see the tiny sights. Fortunatly for me I do still.
