What is the gun ownership rate of US citizens?
The US has the highest level of gun ownership in the world at about 88.8%; 34% higher than the next highest, Yemen. It's interesting to consider and not wholly unrelated that South Africa's gun ownership rate is 12.7 (which puts it at about 50th of all nations) but has a murder by gun rate of 74.57:100,000 as opposed to that of the US, 15.22:100,000, making the murder rate in South Africa the highest in the world. One has to wonder if the South African murder rate would be lower if more people there owned guns legally.

How many gun owners per 100 in America?

It is an estimate, since in most of the US there is no requirement to register firearms with a government agency.

Which country has the loosest gun laws?
Define 'worst'. Do you mean which country has the laws which allow the most irresponsible gun ownership (which is debatable), or the strictest gun laws?
