On the news tonight (may have been local news I wasn’t paying too much attention) but some moron compared the murder rate of Houston, Texas with the country of Israel, Houston having 3 times the murder rate.

After it had been stated that citizens of Israel are far more likely than Americans to be armed, this idiot says Houston’s murder rate is because of too many guns. Failing to see that armed citizens in Israel, is what keeps their murder rate down, not the opposite conclusion he came to.

Liberals are plain old stupid.

Israel’s low murder rate is not attributable to the fact that that Israelis are more likely to be armed.
