One Question

Americans 'much likelier to be killed by guns' than people in other countries ... Research finds rate of deaths involving guns 10 times higher in the US than other populous, high-income countries [More]
If it's due to guns, how do rates for the millions of members of the NRA, arguably the most heavily-armed civilian population on the planet -- compare with those "gun-controlled' countries?

Or do you just lump us all in with Bloomberg city denizens?

That's two questions, isn't it?

Dang. Three.

Maybe I should retitle this "A Spate of Questions."

Couple of links for you on the same subject...

Same AJM study says U.S. would still have the highest homicide even if all guns were removed...

Same AJM study counts justifiable homicides. Suggests people should wait for the police...

I know! Just 'give' the "inner city denizens" a FREE NRA mebership!

Surely they would then behave just as well with firearms?

The only thing Amanda Peet has going for her is that she used to look good with her shirt off> Only thing Quaid has going for him is a shit-eating grin. I put their composite IQ between 50 and 60 - MAYBE!
