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.

I know it's not. I wonder though, in the stats you quoted, is there any
breakdown on the ethnicity of those who used guns in the commission of a
murder? I doubt it, not too PC.

**Yep. They were all Americans.
