I don't know who you're talking about. I'm saying that the expense of guns
doesn't seem to have an obvious and direct correlation on the number of
people who get shot, given that lots of people were shot in countries where
guns were very expensive.

I'm not arguing. I'm just pointing out that there are good and bad things
going on everywhere. Blaming the US for people getting shot in the UK or
wherever you are is like blaming the EU for people starving in Africa.

We had enough grain to outweigh a couple of battleships ready to go
(hundreds of thousands of tons), and some African countries wouldn't accept
it until it was milled, because they didn't want to lose their EU market for
their produce. Instead, millions of people starved in Africa because the EU
wouldn't import grain from them in the future if they took this grain now.

Sure. That whole thing is screwed up here. We don't like it either.

Honestly, Mexico is worse. They have just as many guns, if not more.
