US averages 112.6 guns per 100 million people, putting us at the top for most guns in the world. Yet despite everything we hear, we don't even get near the top 10 countries for gun violence.

That whole per capita thing really craps on gun grabbers' argument

 

[bglf83]

Now remove all the justified deaths (police and citizens) and suicides. The number gets real small at that point.

Places like Chicago screw the per capita number as well.

Whenever I buy a new gun the first thing I do is train it properly.

Not a single one of my guns has ever jumped up into the air and fired itself at me or any of my friends.

If you really want to narrow that group, remove suicides too as that counts for approximately 32,000 deaths per year.

I trained my 1911 as soon as I got it, 10 years later and it still has yet to get aggressive with anyone.

doesn't matter for us (slaves) in Kalifornia. These libtards are controlled by mini Clinton's. ALL handguns will become illegal to buy new after Dec 31 2016. Also semi auto rifles with a detachable mag will also be banned. It's ****ing ridiculous.

If this were sent to the Supreme Court that has appointments from Clinton, it will be upheld too.

This is unconstitutional.

I'm surprised by Jamaica. What's going on there?

Yup. The Republicans dicked around and lost the most important presidential election the second amendment has ever seen. I'd really like to see the military and citizens take this country back from our corrupt political system.

I'm keeping my guns or taking a dirt nap. Most my friends and relatives are same minded.
Texas would be a hard state to win/ take guns from.

Wait, They're getting rid of all handguns? I haven't heard about this one. Just the "improved" detachable mag rule and background checks for ammo.

Same.

The argument I see is what's the amount of gun deaths for the western world. Other words, ignore the poor and almost 3rd world countries and focus on the nation's that aren't a dump.

The last trip I took (ended up in the Bahamas), my travel agent told me there was a lot of drug cartel related violence happening down there.

Drugs, poverty and ghetto's run by gangs.

 

[SID297]

That explains it.

I agree with you. But the statistics need to be broken down correctly. To add suicide and accidental deaths in the reporting highly skews the number.
