NOT TRUE. America doesn't make it into the top 100 list of countries by murder rate, a list that includes many countries that have a ban on civilian firearm ownership.

Fail again.

And oh, your precious England, after they banned firearms, has a HIGHER rate of violent crime than America.

Oops.

Guy, either you are a liar or a gullible fool who believes whatever shit you hear on National Rampage Association websites.

Yet, the stats I quoted are in fact correct. What does that say about your gullibility???

Either way, you aren't worth having a discussion with.

Promise?

FOr the record.

We had 11,101 gun murders last year.

The United Kingdom had 42

Which in no way changes the fact that the UK has a higher rate of violent crime that the US.

Does it hurt to always be so damn wrong?

At least one of the shooters used a rifle and casings were recovered at the scene, police said.

At least 67 people have been shot across the city since Wednesday afternoon during this long holiday weekend, 11 fatally.

A lot of posters will claim this is nothing more than Obama-bashing or another anti-gun control rant. The point is simply showing that taking guns away from homest Americans is NOT going to reduce gun violence! Old West towns were safe because the population was armed and protected themselves. They didn't just rely on the town marshall or local sheriff.

And then read this USA Today piece, New Jersey gun laws don't curb violence in Camden @ New Jersey gun laws don't curb violence in Camden that paints a clear picture of why anti-gun laws don't work!

The count's up to 10 dead, 55 wounded.

Notice all the outrage from the left, their prominent race pimps in particular? Didn't think so. After all it's a dog bites man story and therefore rather run of the mill.

3 dead, 12 wounded in Chicago as long July 4th weekend begins - chicagotribune.com

I'm curious, if it gets to over 80, will Obama have any comments about the wholesale slaughter in his community or will he and other libs just want to focus on Zimmerman?

Why should Obama comment? This is what you lot are happy with - people being gunned down in the prime of their lives, all over a stupid piece of paper.

Chicago has tough gun laws, commenting can not further his agenda. so he'll keep quiet on it.

 

[kilosepp]

so why not comment on the horrible crime in his hometown? He even commented on the arrest of henry gates but not when 70 plus people get shot?

wahhhh obongo's town has violence
