9. Horseshit and hysteria....LMFAO
You right, your entire movement is based on horseshit and hysteria.

Total misrepresentation from every anti gun group out there is blatant to anyone and everyone that looks at this issue with open eyes.

The real issue is not the guns or the 2nd amendment or the number of fatalities each year.
Soft on the crime and hard on the gun. What a fucking joke!

Prisons with cable TV, law libraries, tennis courts, weight rooms, swimming pools and many other amenities most non-criminal Americans cannot afford.

A perfect example of the failing ideology of "gun control" is Switzerland.

Visitors to Switzerland are astonished to see guns and rifles being carried openly in public -- particularly when there is a "shooting festival" occurring nearby. In fact, Switzerland has more firepower per person than any other country in the world -- yet it is one of the safest places on Earth.

In 1997, there were 87 intentional homicides and 102 attempted homicides in the entire country -- with firearms involved in 91 of the 189 total cases.

Switzerland had a homicide rate of 1.2 per 100,000 population and a robbery rate of 36 per 100,000.

Almost half of those crimes were committed by non-resident foreigners -- whom locals call "criminal tourists."

By comparison, Britain -- which has strict gun control laws -- had a homicide rate in 1994 of 1.4 per 100,000 and a robbery rate of 116 per 100,000.
Although Switzerland has local shooting contests for boys and girls ages 12 to 16, there have been no school massacres in the country.

All males between the ages of 20 and 42 are required to keep rifles and pistols at home for purposes of national defense. Military historians do not doubt that this was a big reason Hitler chose to avoid Switzerland in favor of conquering countries which had strict gun control laws -- as well as registration lists which facilitated confiscation of firearms.

Now explain to us why the streets of Switzerland are not flowing with blood.

But what's the point in posting anything factual. If it does'nt support your argument it's drivel, even when it comes from the same sources that you use to support your stance (horseshit and hysteria).
You then scream the racist, scum, honky and nazi trash, offend every race and religon out there and expect the world to respect your position.
Your position and attitude demonstrates the biggest racist position on this board, as demonstrated by the thread YOU started trying to disprove it, in which you got your head handed to you on a platter!

Yea, the horseshit and hysteria is clearly demonstrated by someone here, and we ALL know who it is.

Care to try GD again, come on I dare ya to go up there and spout out the same exact shit you spout out down here.

I have a feeling that crowd would take issue with the stereotyping you demonstrate down here.
