Although America accounts for 40% of firearms in civilian ownership, people put them to more deadly use elsewhere. The gun murder rate in Colombia and South Africa, for example, is much higher than in America.Oh no, Sarah Brady! How can that be? Haven't you made a career of saying that America has the highest murder rate amont "civilized" countries?

Sarah would never lie to us or anyone else. Maybe she just "misremembered". Tough to keep everything straight when you're parading around a wheelchair bound hubby and raking in tons of cash from idiots.

Of course there are some guns that will never go anywhere, but the ones that are not near and dear could move out to move something else in. :)

Problem is, the libbys don't let the facts get in the way of a good story and the press doesn't know how to fact check and just takes the talking points from Sarah and her chronies and repeats 'em verbatim....
Hey, We're all clinging to our guns and religion here! Clinging to the latter ensures that you aren't the ones killing anyone! So b-HO, there's proof that we need more gun clinging religious low-lifes like me! Or, does it? I'm sure he'll be deciding for us all!
Colombia and South Africa? Civilized nations?
Ouch... I have a cramp from the laughter, Michael.
