On October 22 The Telegraph published a map showing the U.S. leads the world in private firearm ownership but does not even crack the Top 10 when it comes to firearm-related deaths.

According to the Telegraph, the countries with highest per-capita gun ownership are:

USA – 112.6 guns per 100 residents Serbia – 75.6 Yemen – 54.8 Switzerland – 45.7 Cyprus – 36.4 Saudi Arabia – 35 Iraq – 34.2 Uruguay – 31.8 Sweden – 31.6 Norway – 31.3

WTH? But, but, but....... We've been 'informed' repeatedly that toddlers with guns are a scourge and thus guns need to firmly regulated by the feds contrary to the 2nd amendment. Or something. If we increase regulation, might we catch up and crack the top 10 countries for firearm related deaths?

In Switzerland, EVERY able bodied male is, BY LAW, required to own a weapon, a rifle, at least, I think. It’s an odd law, considering the size and population of Switzerland.

Not to worry. CNN will come out with a false story saying we’re the tops in the world.

It looks to me like NONE of the top 10 for firearms ownership are in the top 10 for firearms related deaths.

That is a huge story.

Free flow of lettuce pickers is important to helldabama since evil suppressing ‘muricans refuse to do that type of work. Or something. Seems like there’s even some organized groups coming over. You know, like ms-13. Are there really that many stupid voters out there? Uh, yeah.

And fifty five years ago we were told the most “evil” guns in the USA were the “.22 Saturday Night Special” handgun and the 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifle!

Notice that 8 out of the top 10 gun death countries come from South America. How’s that border free hemisphere sounding now?

Leftie dictators ( like the 1930s Socialists ) and other criminals love gun free zones with easy victims.

LOL! One BIG difference......55 yrs ago we could order them through the mail out of the back of magazines no questions asked. USPS would leave them at the front door and practically nobody would mess with them.
