1. Yeah, but jeez, look how low our murder rate is compared with the rest of the countries on the list |
|
Oh, wait....
That's right.
:sarcasm:
We've got the highest murder rate of any country that makes guns on the list.
Weird, eh? Who would have thought that filling society with guns would INCREASE the number of incidents utilizing them? :eyes:
As the great Bill Hicks said:
"There is no connection between having a gun and shooting someone with it, and NOT having a gun and NOT shooting someone...and you'd be a fool and a communist to make the connection"

2. Obscene. Totally obscene. |
|
Why is this country so into death and destruction? 533 million dollars. Well over half a Billion dollars. Think of the health care that could buy. The education. The amount of food for the hungry and starving. Housing. How much of this $533,000,000 is tax payer money? Want to save on taxes? Stop making and exporting killing machines.
