The lower crime rates in New Zealand compared the US, argument , I think is spurious. NZ is an island state with 3.8m people a long way from anywhere. A far more apt comparsion would be to look a state in the union with a similar size and population, semi rural with a few cities and people of mostly of European descent. I dunno Kansas or North Dakota or somewhere like that. I suspect a crime rate similar to NZ would cause the citizens of said states to go running to the gunshop to buy more ammo because of course they already have plenty of guns. Many states like that in the US have tiny crime rates neither caused by guns or lack thereof.
If you just wanted to cause an argument of course then go ahead.
This from Demaw I found funny.
2 congressmen from colorado , 1 from each party, has said from there info they believe 1000 terrorists have come thru mexico and canada and are in colorado now.
1 senator and the district attor. of texas said from there info they believe 20000 terrorist have crossed the border and are in the border states this year.
I find it a little difficult to believe that 20000 jihadists swanning about the lone star state would go unnoticed, even in a state as big as Texas. That all sounds a bit like the old conspiracy theory that the UN are massing a huge army in Mexico ready to invade.
What some politicans will do to get votes.!
