American gun use is out of control. Shouldn't the world intervene?

The UK does a phenomenal job to cook its books on murders and violent crimes. A homicide cannot be classified as a murder until there is a conviction. Total BS about their lower murder rates. Read that in a FR post about a year ago - sorry, no link but that was the short of it.

Brits telling us about “our” crime problem is laughable.

They can come and take Eric Holder et al, all the ne’er-do-well sons of Barack, illegal aliens, crazed muzzies, and that would bring bring down the numbers to something manageable.

There are about the same number of drunk driving deaths in the US, too. Should the world intervene and take our cars away, too?

As for those firearms deaths, I’ll venture that the majority of those involved alcoholic beverages. Should the world impose prohibition on us again?

And what about Islam? I’ll venture that pathogen killed ten times as many last year.

How about eradicating that scourge?

I found the map on Politifake and their stuff is usually accurate. There are exceptions. It appears to be accurate though.

...I noticed that Muslim beheadings are rising in Britain....

Twice, actually.

Here’s an idea. Have Henry Porter come to my neighborhood to intervene.

We’re not there yet. I pray we get there soon.

The death toll from firearms in the US suggests that the country is gripped by civil war

What crap.

[marktwain]

The author is not interested in facts. Two thirds of the “gun deaths” that he quotes are suicides. Total suicides and murders for the United States are about 16 per 100,000.

Japan has 26 suicides per 100,000.

By the authors twisted emotional rant (one cannot dignify it by calling it logic) then the UN should be interceding in Japan as well.

Logic and Liberals do not go well together.

[God luvs America]

The annual toll from firearms in the US is running at 32,000 deaths and climbing

....LOL; only about 4x what the real total is....

[KittenClaws]

The Obama administration has emboldened our enemies and inflamed the jealous nature of our so- called friends.

If any country even tries what this article suggests, they will soon understand the difference between a loud mouthed lying figure head .......and reality.

“Half the country is sane and rational while the other half simply doesn’t grasp the inconsistencies and historic lunacy of its position, which springs from the second amendment right to keep and bear arms”

Half? More than half owns weapons, while the other half cannot grasp it’s lunacy.

Anyway, what is it with the whiny Poms like this pos and Pierce Morgan? What we do in our country has nothing to do with them, so they can sod-off.

Maybe it's a site which cites people using ending prepositions.

I see a lot of misspellings in context of the words "sight," "cite" and "site" on FR posts. It is as though the writers missed a lot in elementary and middle school.

Maybe so, but seeing Greenland like that, just didn't make sense to me.

Reason UK doesn’t allow guns is because they would have ten times the deaths due to their pub culture and instability.

[DJ MacWoW]

Their suicide rate is rising too.
