Wait - Another Gun Chart

Tails of the Gun  

Today's Rarity ...

“
Res Ipsa Loquitor


I'm sure that you too see these "gun charts" all over the place.  Almost all are designed to show that gun owners are psychopaths and the USA leads the world in gun crime.  So this one is unusual.  Still, like the others, no authority is cited, so it means squat.  But—from what we do know,  it's a damn sight more accurate than the usual fare.

    The UK should be yellow in the second map. Their "murder rate" only counts solved murders, and counts them in the year they were recorded, not the year they occurred.

    A post over at Sondra's place prompted me to look up some UN and FBI crime data, latest available 2011.
    Surprise, surprise, in 2011, DiFi's "gun free" Kalifornia had the most gun homicides in the nation, 1,220, and ***tah-dah***
    only 45 were with rifles, of which only a fraction of those were 'assault' rifles.
    The Lefturds don't give a damn about anybody's safety, but because the 1st and 2nd Amendments are obstacles in their path towards their dismantling of the Constitution, PC and gun control are expedient tactics to accelerate their 'Progress' toward their goal.

    And of course, nobody is killing anybody in the Mid-East.

    Greenland is a part of Denmark, and earlier they didn't have their own statistics.

    Now they have made a comparison to the UN numbers, and they show that Greenland is one of the most violent societies on Earth.
