re: #134 stabby

Damn, remember when I posted homicide rates by country (and the US didn’t fair that well, though not as badly as gun only homicide rates would imply). For instance 5 times worse than Italy, 4 times worse then the UK, 7 times worse than Japan and Austria, 2.5 times worse than Canada…

I posted the same things a couple places at PJ Media.

One answer i just got:

Art Chance

Norm the stats for race, ignorant lefty punk.

Beautiful, just beautiful.

Art Chance is an old Redstate regular - former Alaskan Republican operative or somesuch.

As for the statement about higher rates of assault and rapes, they are, predictably, false. Other countries have different definitions of the above crimes - the Gun cultists compare aggravated assaults in the US with simple assaults everywhere else, for instance. Canada and Australia also define sexual assaults differently, and thus a charge of indecent contact is compared to aggravated sexual assaults in the US.

Again, research demonstrates that presence of guns has no significant impact on other kinds of crimes other than homicides and assaults with firearm.
