As these maps show, "more guns, less crime" is true internationally as well as domestically.
Maps made by the U.N. office on Drugs and Crime (circa 2007) clearly show that where gun ownership is highest in the world, crime is lowest on a per capita basis.True, but very misleading. Are you going to compare the U.S against countries like Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, etc., or compare the U.S. against countries with similar demographics?

It is the UN data and report......argue with them...don't believe their report.............they are making the case thatFirst, I am not disputing the data. It all seems very realistic.

And your inference that anyone who doesn't support gun confiscation supports what Adam Lanza is ridiculous. Had current laws been enforced, he wouldn't have had the gun. Had the medical establishment listened to his mother, he wouldn't have had the opportunity.
Face it, Timmy, you simply want to use this as an excuse to give the government more control over our lives.
