they don’t have a million illegals crossing their border every year
Mr Le Mière said that the US had fallen down the scale, although it still scored an average of 93 out of 100, partly because of the proliferation of small arms owned by Americans and the threat to the population posed by the flow of drugs from across the Mexican border.
What? Well, if we have millions of drug addled aliens pouring through from Mexico, I think it is quite prudent for Americans to start owning more small arms.
But if this were a valid assessment - wouldn’t they have people breaking down the doors to get in, and wouldn’t the US have a population outflow? These international rankings are rarely worth the ink required to print them.
