What a fascinating example of propaganda. What about the
countrys that have low handgun death statistics but
don't have handgun control? What about the overall crime
rates in these countrys, and the differences between them.
Are you over simplifying or did you just choose to ignore
any statistics that didn't support your opinion.

Go ahead and explain (with a straight face, please) why you
left out half the facts
