NUMBER ONE WITH A BULLET (Who is the murder capital of the world? Per Capita)
Youtube ^ | 1/23/2015 | Bill Whittle

Posted on 01/24/2015 2:32:21 PM PST by Vendome

The USA has, by far, the highest per capita gun ownership in the world. Progressives will tell you that this is what makes America the Murder Capitol of Planet Earth. But we're not, and in this devastatingly effective Firewall, Bill Whittle shows why the center of Gun Nut Nation is in fact one of the safest places in the world.

Now, what is left to do is to convince certain young men that, when the policeman tells them to keep their hands visible, they do. It’s just that simple.

And, when you carve Black and Hispanic gun murderers out of the USA statistics, the news improves again.

USA whites commit gun murders at a rate that is only slightly higher than the rate white people in Switzerland commit gun murders.

You're not supposed to notice that huge gray fellow with tusks and a big trunk sitting in the room...

'We now return you to your regularly scheduled lie infested public media deception, propaganda focused, degenerate, agenda driven programming.' ... we may be only 111th in murder statistics, but we're number one in the leadership lying all the time category. Democrats are being revealed more and more every day as the pus oozing filth they really are.

At one point, I crunched the numbers, and if you removed the murders by blacks and Hispanics, the US murder rate would be about what the Western European murder rate is.

“Listen the article”

I hate taking the time to listen to something I could have read in a fraction of the time.

Gun grabbers always point to Europe and European settled countries as cultures the US should emulate.

However, from where does the left want to bring in immigrants, the cultures murdering each other.

Those cultures are already driving up the US rate.

As Ann Coulter pointed out, eliminate their stats from overall US, and murder rate is about same as Belgium

Don’t know who Bill Whittle is but he’s pretty good.

That's a huge understatement. Bill Whittle is probably the best spokesman for conservative causes and American patriotism by a very large margin.

He's been writing essays on America since about 2002, which are at his blog: Eject! Eject! Eject!

Click on the link and scroll down on the right to see a list of his essay titles. Click on any one of them and prepare to be very impressed. The man is an American treasure.

Just an FYI, he’s since moved his blog to billwhittle.com. He also has a video series called “Afterburner”.

Interesting map.

However, it’s depicting homocides; not deaths by guns. Also, deaths by guns should be separated by those that are legal or accidental vs. those which are not.

Hey, I live in Plano. I never heard it called ‘gun nut capital’ before. Where does that come from?

Also noted that cites in the U.S. that have the tightest gun controls also have the highest murder rates and all share a commonality among them. Hint: Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, Oakland, and Kansas City are among them.

Yep. - take black murders out of the equation and we're near the top of 'safe' countries.

Prolly the same place, with sarcasm, that Okies are gun nutz.

It’s a badge of respect.

Good, honest and decent people have no use for dishonesty, liars thieves and murderers...

AZ 6.28

Arizona's murder rate would be lower except for two reasons. First, law enforcement here is prohibited by federal court order from enforcing many federal laws (while being required to enforce other. Its very confusing.)

Second, in the past - at least we hope it's no longer taking place, the Justice Department facilitated the arming of drug gangs here. (What? You thought all those F&F guns went to México?)
