About that 'Epidemic of Gun Violence'

 

As for #10:
[P]er World Health Organization Statistics, “gun-free” Japan comes in at #17. The “easy access to guns” United States comes in at #50.  What they also don’t tell you, and this is curious, seeing as how they’re big proponents of police being the “Only Ones” with guns, is that a Philadelphia Inquirer report from some years back concluded: “New York City officers kill themselves at a rate of 29 per 100,000 a year. The rate of suicide in the general population is 12 per 100,000 …”

Any one else remember "The Summer of the Shark?"

As Herr Goebbels demonstrated time and time again, to the detriment of the German people and the entire world, the truth is not important. What is important is what people can be led to believe.

In the absence of an epidemic of gun violence, one simply takes steps to create one in the minds of the public.
