“We’re the only developed country” where this happens, Obama said. “There’s no place else like this.”
Gun violence in America is “off the charts.”
Not sure where he is getting his information but gun violence happens in ALL developed countries. The difference is, Americans have the option to protect themselves against guns with guns. Theft, rape, robberies, and murders would all rise exponentially if we didn’t have the right to bear arms.
The Government’s latest crime figures were condemned as “truly terrible” by the Tories today as it emerged that gun crime in England and Wales soared by 35% last year. Criminals used handguns in 46% more offences, Home Office statistics revealed.
Firearms were used in 9,974 recorded crimes in the 12 months to last April, up from 7,362. Figures showed the number of crimes involving handguns had more than doubled since the post-Dunblane massacre ban on the weapons, from 2,636 in 1997-1998 to 5,871.
To those who say it’s not guns, it’s mental health: “The United States does not have a monopoly on crazy people.”
I beg to differ, a bunch of crazies elected you twice.
