I find this last link to be the most comical as the Ukraine was just invaded by Russia if I am not mistaken. And Canada has Zero Gun related Murders? I don't think so. Let's fabricate some more statistics ehh? Czech Republic, Zero Gun Related Deaths?? Wow. Then again, even if it is right, 9 thousand out of some thirty Million is a pretty good number considering that hundreds of thousands die from smoking and we sell cigarettes like they are going out of style. Same with Automobiles. Same with Fake Sugar "Aspartame" which the FDA knew directly caused cancer yet they approved it because a major player in Washington was hired as their CEO and another, the former attorney general, was hired as counsel for the company....Go friggin figure. Eric Holder will probably be the new CEO for Monsanto. One of the biggest criminals in America is the Attorney General....What is wrong with this picture?
