    Simpler. America's violent crime rate isn't that bad, period. And if you look at the Red areas, ya know where most of the actual guns are, crime is very low and dropping. Crime is a problem in the Blue Hellholes where Democrats misrule and generally make firearm ownership most difficult and policing erratic and ineffective. More guns, less crime; it really is that simple. Robert Heinlein's "An armed society is a polite society." has now been subjected to about as good of a real life experimental trial as happens in the social sciences and the results are indisputable. But we can't talk about that because it would ruin the Narrative.

    And Obama, along with pretty much every other Democrat politician and media outlet, is simply lying about 'no other advanced country' having problems of this sort. They do it every time there is one of these incidents occurs so we have had this conversation too many times. Google is your friend but if you aren't a Democrat (and thus on the left hand of the Bell Curve) you probably remember enough from the news to know it is BS.

    Stop watching Fox News so much. The facts show the opposite [addictinginfo.org] of the biased bullshit you're trying to pass off as truth.
