Re: “America has the lowest number of murders, per capita, anywhere and Bill adroitly points out the numbers.”

I don't think we watched the same video.

According to the link, America was ranked 111th, so about 100 countries have a lower per capita murder rate than the USA.

In terms of “gun murder” rate, however, the news is somewhat better.

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.

yer counting “gun” murders.

He finished with total murders and our global ranking on the scoreboard?

#211 Nearly dead last.

See, the liberals want to talk about gun violence as if it is a primary cause of murder, when it is the actual commitment of the act of murder that is the issue.

So, did you and I watch the same video? We sure did but, comprehension is important and context of understanding is as well.

We rank about in the middle of murders by guns.

We rank nearly dead last in murders per capita and that is the issue.

“We’re 211!!! Yeahhhh...I think”

the number 211 was pointed out by Bill as an example of what where the USA would rank if the per capita were in gun nut crazy Plano, TX.

Sorry for the mistake.

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