As much as people try to claim otherwise, there is no connection
between guns and increases in violence.
The random acts of a few nut cases who are intent on killing people
are not a reason to enact more gun control.
America 'is' 28th in the world for gun violence, after most EU and Latino
countries.
**It is #8 for gun related homicide:

Sandwiched right there between Uruguay and Costa Rica. The next Western,
developed nation is way down at #19.
Don't fool yourself: Having a gun related homicide rate which is amongst a
bunch of third world ********s is nothing to be proud of.
