The more guns 'LAW ABIDING CITIZENS' have the less a dirt bags will have
to carry out dirt deeds!


**How's that working for ya? Let's see:

There's the US at #8, with 0.0279271/1,000 people. Now, where's the next
nearest Western, developed nation?

Here it is. Down at #19, with 0.00534117/1,000 people. Can the Swiss carry
concealed guns around the streets? Nope. In fact, no other Western,
developed nation allows it's people to carry concealed guns around the
streets. Only in the US. In fact, the Swiss, like all the other Western,
devloped nations have very tough, sane and homogenous gun control laws. By
an amazing coincidence, the US also has the highest (by a very considerable
margin) homicide rate, via the use of firearms, of any Western, developed
nation.



It's not the gun you ass, it's the criminal mind that puts thought into
action


**Yadda, yadda, yadda. You suck up that **** shovelled to you by the NRA.
It's working real well for you.

NOT!

The stats are from the FBI and they have been the same regardless of
administrations. The NRA does not run the government, they just keep
reminding folks of the reason the 2nd amendment was included and how
many other rights have been chipped away.
