Not going to work through your whole list, but not true as to Mexico.

The facts are strong enough in our favor. No reason to make up easily disprovable stories - unless one is an undercover liberal.

The statement that all countries above the US have 100% gun ban is total BS.

I live in the Philippines. I can’t buy a gun because I’m a foreigner, but any Filipino can buy a gun to be kept in their home. If you want to carry outside of the home, you need a permit from the Police Chief, but it can be obtained.

Guns are plentiful in the Philippines and I will bet that most of the other countries above the US also allow private gun ownership.

I have been looking for the source for this, lots of sites have it posted, nobody has a source link.

Anybody have it?

Thanks.
