Tho' I agree that the ambiguous Second Amendment should be
modified or repealed, don't people get tired quoting dubious
statistics and saying the same thing about violence in the US
time and time again? There are other heavily armed countries
where the murder rate is not so high and isn't it still legal to
shoot a housebreaker after 10 PM in France?
