Democrats continue to want to violate the Constitution, threaten the 2nd amendment


(06-24-2022, 10:04 PM)NewJagsCity Wrote: I looked up some stats comparing the United States to my birth country of Greece. The link is below and some of the telling stats show that while US citizens own more guns than Greek citizens by a 4 to 1 ratio, the murder rate is 74 to 1 in (dis) favor of the US. If it was just the quantity of guns, then we should see a murder rate ratio closer to 4:1. This seems to say that guns are in too many of the wrong hands in the US.  Or, we are more of a murdering culture.

It's a culture thing.  We speak the English language and our legal system was based on English common law, but our culture is not European and probably never was.

We are not the worst country in the world, but, by these measures, we are not the best either.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
