We're Number 22!

The United Kingdom has been ranked as one of the most stable and prosperous countries in the world, beating the United States, France and even Switzerland in a global assessment of every nation’s achievements and standards.
Right.

And what makes America Number 22?

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...
Right.

Mr Le Mière? Excuse moi? Time for your fitting...

I'm not Catholic, but you have to wonder; if Vatican City did not score 100, who could?

Le Miere...French. Well, of course we have firearms, because with them you don't have to surrender.

The French were damned glad to see armed Americans in 1917 and again on 6Jun44.

Weren't the brits begging US citizens for their personal firearms back in WWII when they were facing the prospect of a German invasion?

Well...I suppose this means the steady flow of immigrants will stop and people will flock to the UK! Git along, little serfs!

Looking at the stats, it seems like we have a "problem" with the proliferation of pointy things, blunt objects, and bare hands as well..

But of course the anti-gun loons never acknowledge that people can and do kill others without using guns.
