An amazing fact that you don’t see written about very often.

They of course do not mention that all four countries , Mexico, Venezuela, Columbia and Brazil only allow criminals and the police to carry guns.

Way at the end of the article a popular “right wing” candidate for Brazil’s presidential election is promising to relax Brazil’s restrictive gun laws. “Right now only one side can shoot”.

Same thing applies here, in the states with the highest crimes are the toughest to buy guns. Only criminals and police have them in those states for the most part anyway.

Big cities with most restrictive gun laws too.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Yet the socialist party will still try to tell us we should give them our guns and all be safe.

chicago, chicago that wonderful town...

P.S. that old tune doesn't apply today - stay well away from there.

The ruse: "Yet the socialist party will still try to tell us we should give them our guns and all be safe."

What they mean: They'll all be safe...from us.

The graph in that article is interesting... Leave it to CNN to reverse the years so, at a glance, it looks like the number of homicides in Mexico is decreasing.
