Hot button topic of the week it seems!
Has anyone looked at the stats of some other countries and their gun death rates? Didn't you ever wonder why countries like Japan and the UK have such low rates of death by handguns? Its because of 2 things I think....1. Its against the law to own one...and 2. They VIGOROUSLY prosecute and search for people who do! For some reason we the US seem to think we NEED to have them more than any other industrialized nation in the world. Yet we the US have BY FAR the highest death rates by handguns in the world...Doesn't anybody see the correlation? If the police weren't such chicken ****************s and giving parking tickets and busting potheads, maybe they would have more time to go after people who had them if the law existed.....Maybe if the NRA didn't have their hands in the politicians pockets we could do something about this. But our country has been too busy telling other countries how to live, when we can't even clean up our own mess....
