Quote:1. America’s out-of-control guns make it the most violent place in the world. False. First of all, there are two different types of violence. The first is violence by a government against its people. The second is violence by a people against each other.
Thankfully, America is still way, way, way low on the list of violence by a government against its people. I’m sure that the beleaguered citizens in North Korea, or China, or Mugabe’s Zimbabwe, or Gaza and the West Bank, Saudi Arabia, or Iran, or in any other dictatorship around the world would love to have a chance to live in America. They would laugh at what we call “violence,” because they understand that the worst violence is always that visited by an armed government against an unarmed citizenry.
As for the people against people violence, putting aside fairly anarchic places such as Brazil or Peru or Mexico, America still doesn’t even rank near the top of the list. The most violent place to live if you’re afraid of your fellow citizens is . . . drumroll please . . . England, a country with ferociously stiff gun control laws. .......
So much for gun control......
However, the UK has a very small murder rate from guns.
Also, not only do guns kill, they also can run up huge medical bills for Obama Care, when people shoot other people, or have gun accidents. In otherwords, one can't have one's cake and eat it too; medical care for all, and no effort to keep people out of the surgeon's office.

That's right, they've started using knives, cricket bats, hammers, pitchforks, axes and the like instead.
Genghis Khan never owned a gun.....

Mass murders from pitchforks???
@Foofie,
Try reading what Genghis Khan's sons did to the city of Merv without a single gun...
