In this age of waxing laws and waning freedoms, a notable exception to the pattern of ever-tightening restrictions is gun prohibitions. New Hampshire no longer requires a license for the carrying of a concealed, loaded firearm; Florida is considering eliminating all gun-free zones (e.g., at schools); and Iowa may institute a Stand your ground provision and lower the age at which children could use handguns, to cite a few examples.

It DOES, however, minimize armed self-defense.
Even with those groups, the US ranks something like 128th out of 196. Take those out and it would drop to 170th.
Liberal scientific method - First you make your conclusion and then you ignore any data that might disprove it.
