has NO MURDER OCCURRENCE!
However, SWITZERLAND'S law requires that EVERYONE....
1. Own a Gun
2. Maintain Marksman qualifications....regularly
3. "Carry"........a Weapon.
We never hear about this? Why , agendas to uphold?

Wow...
ReplyDeleteI'm going to carry every day.
8:21 I do carry everyday. I also have a loaded shotgun next to my bed. I also have two great dogs that are trained to protect. I sleep well but at the same time are aware of my surroundings. Do not fear to carry a weapon because of a law in Maryland. The Constitution supersedes Maryland law.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you list the dozens of countries that rank lower in murder rates than the US that also have gun bans?? Most European countries included.
ReplyDelete9:43 PM
ReplyDeleteare there any?
9:43. Yes. Almost as many as shown in the list on this post. Would be best to show the entire list to see where we really rank. Not to impressive.
ReplyDeleteall depends on what you call murder and who's giving up the data
ReplyDelete5:34 AM
ReplyDeleteOk, where is the list?
9:43 so there are "almost" as many European countries as this list of 109?
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to study geography.
