There is a poster on my door.  It reads

In 1980, handguns killed

77 people in JAPAN
8 in GREAT BRITAIN
24 in SWITZERLAND
8 in CANADA
23 in ISRAEL
18 in SWEDEN
4 in AUSTRALIA

11,522 in the UNITED STATES

God bless America.

Go ahead and explain (with a straight face, please) that gun
control doesn't work in Canada.  Or Japan.  Or Sweden.  Or
Australia.

Go ahead.
