19. We all have similar crime rates except for gun involved crimes. It's obvious
Amazing how gun "enthusiasts" always want compare the US to some nation at war and never to the EU nations or Commonwealth nations that have rocketed past the US in quality of life in spite of our vast wealth and power.

I guess civil war, that's what the gun crowd really wants. All those Turner Diaries at gun shows and all.
