It's a silly metric. The relevant number isn't guns per capita, it's gun OWNERS per capita.
In terms of a random housebreaker getting his grubby hands on one I agree. But unless there's a few dozen guys with their houses literally full of them the US probably scores pretty high on that measure too.
in particular, people seem to keep forgetting that the newly seceeded nation was still fighting a long and bloody war with the British, a nation that, at least in the eyes of the US forefathers, was tyrannical in their governance of its colonies.
Oh, we know it. But we know it was a couple of centuries back and the world has changed since then.
Belgium and Switzerland (mainly) use borrowed languages, though. Hence, overall you get more than one country per language. So out of the EU, two share French, three share German and so on.
India is a bit of a special case, since in a way it's a lot of countrylets joined together.
TFA defines "ultra-processed" as using ingredients you wouldn't find in a normal kitchen. My personal definition would be containing stuff that you can't recognize using your natural senses.
There's a whole subregion in Italian Sardinia where greater than 50 PERCENT of the people are living over 90-100 years old. ZERO PROCESSED FOOD is but one part of that, but it truly is ZERO.
Really? They don't eat any salami or ham?
Are you sure this subregion isn't an immigrant camp full of muslims?
Stephen Paddock was law-abiding. Until that day when he wasn't.
that giving up their guns protects them from crazy maniacs. Some people may fail to see the fallacy in that
The fallacy here is a strawman, and it's yours.
I merely pointed out that the constitution is not a law of nature, therefore "it is" is not equivalent to "it has to be, for ever". You can buy beer now. Try it, it might calm you down.
Now I'm not saying that this doesn't happen in England, Canada, Australia and the like - you know, countries where you can put your foot down without tripping over a gun - because it has. But it's not twice a month.
They may also fail to notice that "the government" is responsible for many hundred million deaths in the last 120 years.
War? What's that got to do with it?
And that any government that cannot be removed by its citizens always develops into a tyranny over time.

The millenials won't believe this, but there were even paper viruses. "Chain letters" was the usual term.
Yeah, it's true. There was no such thing as propaganda until those eggheads in 'nam invented it.
It was that or "No borrowing somebody's bike without asking first", and they'd already decided that ten was a nice round number.

Like he said, even an idiot can.
True. Some just pretend to be.
Stop! I hope you don't work for Google!
Yeah, I don't think GP flies very often. Maybe he's not allowed to?
Which is even more amazing when you consider the ancestry of most Australians.
Guy: You're hunting deer with a minigun?
Other guy: I fancied some venison burgers and my mincer's broken.
FTFY.

Man, that song sucked.
Some of us don't live near a bridge (though some perhaps should be under one).
But did you even read the post you're replying to? The bit about the time to reflect & cool off?
That's a lie. It's not a mistake, because you've said it before and I've called you on it.
Oh, we know it. But we know it was a couple of centuries back and the world has changed since then.
Didn't the latest shooter have injunctions against him? Had he been checked, that should have shown up.

I do. Why not?

So he's bossy. That doesn't mean he's right.
A sort of instant stomach filler.
If you buy Korean ones, you hope they're not poodles.

Some places have these things called elections.
It's a fact. How can a fact be harassment?
In the interest of balance, I'll point out that men are overrepresented at the lower end too.
