ALL the countries above America have 100% gun bans

It might be of interest to note that Switzerland also has NO MURDER OCCURRENCE. However their law requires that EVERYONE own a gun, maintain marksman qualifications and "carry". Interesting how you never hear about this.

switzerland is and have always been a neutral country. however, U.S. history is full of violence since the arrival of christopher columbus.

I'd say the Swiss are doing it right.....

How about apples to apples comparison with countries of the First World. I mean it's awesome that we have lower murder rate than Tanzania or Angola but...

4:05 and 4:19 your comments make no sense and are not relevant to this post. Americas murders are mostly in the black communities. Just how many blacks did CC bring to America? It's not the white European decedents that are violent, it's mostly the black and illegal immigrant population. Switzerland certainly does do it right! Does anyone know how difficult it would be to become a citizen there? I'm really fed up with this country.

The swiss are doing it right !! honor and service set the stage for solid citizens something we lack in this country right now....the swiss have mandatory service and they take the weapons issued, home when thier service is complete. This is a no brainer the defenseless suffer more....libtards(marxists) should be deemed mentaly ill and resticted from owning firearms

I believe Switzerland operates a military mostly under a citizens militia type of concept and that is why all men must purchase and maintain marksman qualifications. I believe it's voluntary for woman.
This is why their crime rate in general is low because everyone assumes that if one were to start shooting up a movie theatre or rob a deliveryperson chances are they would be met with immediate fire back at them.

Get that banana out of your butt and you may notice that all the countries listed are not third would countries.

Joe, is this guy related to you or something? Why do you allow him to keep spamming and trolling your blog?

And they are represented in the list. No, sorry, I still fail to recognize any point you try to have, other than the one under your cap.

Sorry, I lost my decoder ring decades ago. Would you like to indicate who and what you are referring to?

Europe is a continent, not a country. It is also well represented in the list. Germany, not so much.

No, you don't NEED to but that won't stop you. Hasn't so far, so why should we expect any miracle now?

Don't try and think too hard tonight, you may hurt something.

Anonymous said...

No Alex I don't get your point. What I think you are attempting to say is the lawlessness of certain
3rd World countries is the reason the murder rates are so high maybe? But then that line of reasoning could be discredited by to the saying "an armed society is a polite society" and the lawlessness would or may cease to exist if more citizens were armed.
I think of Monaco, a
1st World country where firearms are easily obtained by citizens and everyone has one. All crime is virtually non existant. I believe Monaco has the lowest crime rate in the world.

7:35 you are not a really smart person, to put it lightly.
You just yourself admitted that NONE of the First World countries are on the list. US is a First World country. Therefore comparing it with third world or developing countries does not seem wise.
Do you need me to break it down for you a little further?

Well yes you will have to since I said no such thing at 7:35 or anywhere else that I am aware of.

Maybe you are the one with the comprehension difficulty.

Just where do you see any reference to a first, second or third world country?

Are you on drugs?

Obama Bankrupt Motors said...

Hey Dummie, since you are so smart, would you explain to us the difference between the First World countries and Second World countries and Third World countries and how the Liberal Socialists like you make distinctions like this. Those days are over. We are living in the New World country called America and if you don't like it, leave and take Piers Morgan with you.

What? If you were to concentrate more on making valid and cohesive statements and less on half baked ideas and insults you might just form a coherent sentence.

They forgot Washington District of Crime on the list.

Obama Bankrupt Motors said...

Ok, Liberal Socialist is not the insult. Calling people Fruit Cake is. So, Mr. Liberal Socialist, you stll didn't provide ANY EXPLANATION and why? Because there is none. Facts mean nothing to people like Liberal Socialists. So here is the fact: The AR-15 rifle, labeled by liberals as "Assault Rifle." WAS NOT USED IN SANDY HOOK SCHOOL SHOOTING. IT WAS LEFT IN THE CAR. SO, WHY DEMOCRATS WANT TO BAN IT? Hey, propaganda is wonderfull thing for people who don't know how to think for themselves.

Oh course it is.

For?

The AR-15 rifle, WAS NOT USED IN SANDY HOOK SCHOOL SHOOTING.

Yes, it was.

IT WAS LEFT IN THE CAR.

No, it wasn't.

SO, WHY DEMOCRATS WANT TO BAN IT?

You would have to ask them.

Hey, propaganda is wonderfull thing for people who don't know how to think for themselves.

Is that what your problem is? I just thought you were a stupid liberal socialist with a bit of a fruitcake on the side.

It's pretty obvious you don't know what you are talking about. I am curious, is there anyone who knows what this guy is talking about?

Obama Motors said...

I don't usually respond to Fruit Cakes with No Name, so this is my last time. Heard of YouTube? If you do some searching you might find it rather interesting AR-15 WAS NOT USED IN SANDY HOOK SHOOTING. SHOOTER WAS USING TWO HANDGUNS.
