> It’s _ **not at all fair** _ to compare the US gun death rate with the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Germany, Australia, Finland, Japan, New Zealand, or any of the other countries in the civilized world where gun death rates are an order of magnitude or two orders of magnitude less than the US, because that wouldn’t be nice.

Stop cherry picking! There are at least as many war-torn, dictator-led, cartel-controlled, and inveterately corrupt third world countries with gun death rates comparable to, and sometimes even higher than, the US.

Next, you’re going to want us to pay what those countries pay for health care!

I can no longer decide between HD and DocD. They’re both putrid, horrid wastes of skin. I wish they would take their hate-filled bloviations elsewhere.

See, this I agree with. The guy is dumb on too many things.

I just don’t think he’s deliberately malicious like HD is.
