We have by far the most guns of any country on Earth with the highest rates of gun ownership. We also have the overwhelming majority of gun deaths, especially of women and children on the planet.
The safest countries on Earth have lower gun ownership and heavy gun restriction.
Which should not be the case based on pro-gun talking points. We should be the safest in the world with so many people owning guns.

Why the contradiction?
Please check to see who commits 50% of all murders.

I think it's probably because we also have one of the most violent cultures on the planet.

Hate to break it to you darling, but life doesn't operate on, "well if we just pretend black people don't exist". Of course, you're gonna try to be clever and come back with, who said anything about black people, you're racist for assuming that. Well, they your fellow Americans too, and if you are bothered by them so much, maybe you should never have brought them over from Africa.

Wow, life explorer would be really old to have brought blacks over from Africa.

We are the safest country in the world when it comes to a foreign country attacking us.

It is a fact that 13.8% of the population commits 50% or more of the murders. Take those out of the equasion and we go way down the list. They just happen to be black.

Wasn't it lucky that the "guy next door" just happened to be a gun owner, had a rifle handy, was a well qualified shooter and NRA member, and he stepped outside and took on the perpetrator, stopping him.
So if people stopped worrying about hurting other peoples feelings maybe we can move in a positive direction in this country. But every time people present facts like that we are worried we'll get called racist when in fact it is true.
Black people don't commit the majority of those crimes because of the color of their skin. They commit the majority of those crimes because they are statistically more likely to grow up in poverty & be around violence.
