You Could Try....

...tamping down the arrogance a bit:

Why America isn't the Greatest Country in the World

To which I might add, where were all those law abiding gun owners who are supposed to protect you all from this and this and this and these two and this and this and this and this and this and this? Among many, many others.

I know you are not the only country to have mass killing sprees. We've had our share. You're murder rate is far from the worst in the world, but, I doubt by any metric you could say we're as gun crazy are you are and the consequences show in the stats. So sorry, you're not so special.

Well, Louise, you're finally agreeing with a viewpoint near and dear to the Liberal Party, America's sordid "gun crazy" affinity for guns.

The stats speak for themselves, Dave.

There's definitely an "ick" factor pertaining to the ownership of hand guns especially amongst Canadians.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the right to bear arms originally meant that citizens should be able to use them to remove a tyrannical government. Now, it seems, it has become the right to kill each other. When any crackpot can get himself a gun, what do you expect.
