(17,502 posts)15. just a few things
with guns in their holsters and "brandishing" them to those who believe in gun control. Where have you been?
Have they been criminally charged? If not, why not? Are you redefining brandishing instead of the accepted legal definition?
of all developed countries in the world, four times as many gun-related homicides per-capita as do Turkey and Switzerland. With almost 89 guns per 100 residents in the U.S., only a fool would deny the possibility this has something to do with America being the most gun violent nation in the world.
but using "developed" you are cherry picking to an almost arbitrary term. Especially since every "gun control believer" has yet to explain what economics have to do with it. Also, we are not the most "gun violent nation" nor are we the most violent. When you use the GINI index that compares wealth inequality, we are actually more like Mexico than Switzerland.

Apparently you just can't read, or, if you can, you have absolutely no comprehension.

She comprehends the meaning of the word 'brandishing' far better than you do

You lost all of the support you were trying to carry in, with the first sentence.
