Home of the yet to be civilized.

The land of the fear.

The rest are publicly owned?

Methinks illegally owned. And operated.

In Chicago, which has some of the strictest gun control laws, the murder rate is higher than any other city. Gun control really doesn’t change much

I used to have a friend who swore more guns meant less violence. In that case, Yanks ought to live in complete safety.

Most all the weapons owned in the USA are owned by legal and law abiding hunters and marksmen. It’s the small few who make the horrifying information abroad. They make the news.

Most civilized countries restrict it to one rifle and one shotgun, both registered, if that, and have negligible firearm crime. I can generally outrun or dodge most other weapons, having never been attacked by arrow or atlatl.

Yep.

“And they’re trying to get to 320 million. There are still 10 million babies who aren’t exercising their 2nd Amendment rights!”

Another fun fact, more than half of the Americans are women, and none of those women are Roman Catholic priests, though there are those who want to be.
