An armed society creates a more civil society!

Rum, beer, movies, nice websites, gaming, etc., without interrupting the flow of martial threads.

Like the stats that show the US having the highest gun crime rate in the developed world.


you DO know that the reason for this is that suicide by gun is also counetd in these statistics (if it's the statictics i'm thinking of), right? if i want to off myself, i'm not going to fuck around with pills or hanging myself when i have a gun next to me.

Hehehe

I don't really want to argue the point Bill

I've been there and done that plenty enough, we all know where each other stands on this issue here at RSF.

But no, suicide does not count as gun CRIME as far as I know - you can't commit a crime against yourself.

And yes, the US has the highest rate of gun crime in the western world
