I said you cherrypicking possibly the most violent country out of all Africa and Asia, but making sure to pick an article where it didn't actually tell you the gun homicide rate (because it's much lower than the US's), was a laughable move. It is rife. It's just over half the US's gun homicide rate, which is huge. What part of this aren't you getting? Is there something you'd like explained to you? Would it help if I tried to use fewer, shorter words? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] tsonfeir@lemm.ee -7 points 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
