New research on "gun violence"...............

Post by dorminWS »

Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my Remington 30.06 right in the doorway. I left 6 cartridges beside it, then left it alone and went about my business.

While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the neighbor boy across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign near the front of my house.

After about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was still sitting there, right where I had left it. It hadn't moved itself outside. It certainly hadn't killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it was presented to do so.

In fact, it hadn't even loaded itself. Well you can imagine my surprise, with all the hype by the Left and the Media about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people. Either the media is wrong or I'm in possession of the laziest gun in the world.

The United States is 3rd in Murders throughout the World. But if you take out just 4 cities: Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC and New Orleans, the United States is 4th from the bottom, in the entire world, for Murders.

These 4 Cities also have the toughest Gun Control Laws in the U.S. ALL 4 of these cities are controlled by Democrats. It would be absurd to draw any conclusions from this data - right?

Well, I'm off to check on my spoons and really crack down on them. I hear they're what’s making me fat.

Gun-crazy? Me? I'd say the gun-crazy ones are the ones that don’t HAVE one.

Actually, I need to correct you on something. We are not the third highest murder rate in the world. When I checked the global stats about 3 months ago, out of a shade over 200 countries (208 I think) we were rated 109. Not even in the top 50%.

Just sayin'.
