I read your post, and you are right, someone is lying to me, it's you.

Not relevent to this discussion. For the record, I was against the invasion, personally, I would have prefered that we simply buttbuttinat SH and let the Iraqis sort it out themselves. But that's not relevent to your silly claims.

Again, if the numbers of firearms were a prime cause of the violent crime rate, then Canada and Switzerland would have a violent crime rate approaching that of the US. They don't, ergo, it's not as simple as you claim.

an interesting claim, care to back it up?

no, you just ignore them, or lie about them. Or prevaricate by changing the subject.

Finally! a valid point! I agree, the high incarceration rate is not a good thing, and again, it's directly tied to the stupid war on (some) drugs.

Fact. Scotland and England have the same firearms laws, Fact. Scotland has a much higher homicide rate than England.

Nope, I am talking about you, not the rest of the world. *Think* for yourself.

Too bad they're bullpoo, as I point out.

This may come as a surprise to you, but not everything you read online is true.

I have shown you numbers drawn from the FBI UCR and other sources of that nature, you reply with bullpoo like the "43 times as likely" crap, which has been so debunked even the CDC doesn't believe it any more.
