The latest Murder Statistics from around the World
The anti-gun people are always telling us how much safer we would be if no one had guns, they want us to believe that murder rates would go DOWN if ALL Americans were disarmed.
The next time some moronic anti-gun Progressive Liberal tries to hand you that line of BS, show them this page, these numbers and then challenge them to prove otherwise!
See the statistics at the bottom of the page. Kind of contradicts what the hand wringing politicians, from BOTH sides of the aisle, and anti-gun Progressive Liberals would have us believe doesn’t it?

How’s THAT gun ban thing working out for them?
You know you live in a Country run by idiots if being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you “safe”. ~Chicago Ray~
After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn’t do it. ~William S. Burroughs~
I received this from a friend via email but most of the stats appear to be confirmed via this PDF:

10.2 in Myanmar. Impressive. I’ve been there a dozen times and have never seen anyone but a soldier with a gun.
Keep your powder dry
What I meant to say was I have never seen anyone with a gun except for soldiers.
Since when did gun control ever stop murder?
Cain killed Abel with his hands and rocks not a gun.
Well, failure of State, Local and Federal Government to properly, repeat properly, and openly deal with the social issues in this country and the mental illness issues in this country are the CAUSE of these attacks on innocent folks and kids. So, the easy way out is to punish 99.99999999% of the law abiding citizens for the actions of a few idiots and nuts. And, keep in mind, Cars kill more people than guns. And keep in mind, that Doctors kill more people than cars and guns combined.
Maybe we need to ban Doctors too…
And isn’t it ODD that Leftists INSIST that American use the REST of the world to gauge other issues such as greenhouse gas, laws, constitutions — but they seem shockingly SILENT when comparing THESE stats. . .
Isn’t that odd — ??

Careful there, Fred. You will make the liberals have a brain aneurism by quoting the facts to them. They can’t handle stats like this because they can’t handle the truth.
I’m trying!!
Great find Fred, and stolen with citation too!
BZ nailed it again as usual…
