We’re Number One!
(via guncontrol.ca)
Gunloons are schizophrenic on the subject of international comparisons. They love ‘em and hate ‘em.
When it’s pointed out that countries with strict gun control have amazingly low gun homicide numbers (e.g., Japan in 2005 had 19 firearm-related homicides, etc.)–the gunloons go nuts (well, more nuts) and pretend the Japanese are of a different species.
All the while, gunloons like to pretend countries without meaningful gun control are shining examples of freedom and democracy. They point to the US, naturally, but seem less anxious to talk about other countries that are awash in firearms like Saddam-era Iraq or that bastion of freedom, Yemen.
