ALL the countries above America have 100% gun bans


It might be of interest to note that Switzerland also has NO MURDER OCCURRENCE. However their law requires that EVERYONE own a gun, maintain marksman qualifications and "carry". You never hear about this.

Mexico has "100% gun bans"? Nope. Plenty of guns there, and citizens have a constitutional right to own a gun.

Honduras? Same.

Also, in Switzerland, those guns in people's homes are government issued and citizens are required to go to regular militia training. How about it wingnuts, do you want your precious taxes to pay for free guns for all Americans, and would you be willing to submit yourself to mandatory militia membership and training?

Some of these examples are pretty funny. Montserrat and Nauru had a single murder each. If only they had more guns...

"ALL the countries above America have 100% gun bans."

Not even close.

This one is a little more difficult to research, but I did find the report here:

http://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/data-and-analysis/homicide.html

However, there is nothing in it indicating which countries have a 100% gun ban, much less an explanation of what such a ban might actually mean.

The stats are mostly from 2010, and a quick look down the columns shows that these stats are copied from it.

I'd file this one under: Lies, damn lies and statistics.

Essentially meaningless without more, credible, real information. But hey: brought to you by the GUNS R US industries. Spend all yer munies and make the 1% RICH. CHA-CHING!
