 Thanks to the good folks at GunNuttery ... BEHOLD!


 ... and for my foreign friends, and especially my friends in the Anglosphere who have lost their Common Law rights and get the vapors about guns ... as this freedom has expanded, gun murders and murder in general has collapsed, especially when taken as a percentage of the population.  Just say'n ...

    I'm unconvinced: at about 3 per 100,000, our firearm-homicide rate is 10-30 times the rate in western democracies including most of Europe and Australia, all of which have some kind of firearm control policy; this fact alone suggests to me that the right to carry offers pretty weak protection by comparison. And then there's gun-related suicide - about triple the murder rate.
    For me, the key policy question is: is the unrestricted right to carry worth the deaths of these thousands of innocents each year? Just sayin'...
