I went to the shooting range last night for the first time in about 2 years. Lot's of fun, and I have to admit, I did pretty well for being so out of practice. But talking with some folks, I heard something that I had not heard before, but they all agreed it was true. I'd like to know if anyone can cite a source for this, as I'd like to use it in a conversation with my sister, who is opposed to gun ownership.
What I heard was that the U.S. has the 3rd highest rate of murder by gun in the world, but if you remove the locations with the strictest gun control, we have the 3rd lowest. That's a powerful statistic. I'd like to be able to use it, if I can find a citation. Can anyone help?
Excellent advice. I'll make sure to follow it. I also thought I'd start her on a .22.
“The irony with my sister’s anti-gun position is that her daughter is an FBI agent and her son is former Special Forces, and they both support gun ownership.”
Libtard life is just one cognitive dissonance crisis after another. It is worst when those you bore and raised insist on learning history, insist on hard data instead of hardball politics, and insist on owning those nasty, dangerous GUNS!
Be especially kind to your Libtard friend. These are trying times for them.
PS Tomorrow doesn’t look any better for them.

The author, Guy Smith, also visits this site here and there. Can't recall his account name, though.
There is little that is more satisfying to a man than when he succeeds in changing a female from disparaging his hobby, to her becoming the one pestering him to take her camping, or shooting, or whatever.

Thanks!
Take out Hispanic and black crime and we are the lowest.
Does this include blacks from Africa or just Holder’s people?
However the number of Hispanics are increasing with leaps and bounds.
Not a very pretty picture.
HEY! Careful there! Remember, truth is the new hate speech!

Just Holder’s people. “African-Americans” are his people. Black Americans are not.
Thanks a bunch for those.
BFL...
Thanks, like yours too, but I would rather we do the prying. The streets could get slippery, shortly.
Remove the places with the strictest gun control - and THEN remove the crimes committed by young gang-bangers.
The numbers become miniscule.
