I figured somebody here already discovered the video but it's worth a rerun.

Let me check what is the murder rate per capita in Lebanon? It is 2.2 per 100,000.
I bet you each house has at least a minimum a full auto AK/AR all the way to an RPG-7.
Can the liberals explain to me why it is 2.2 per 100,000?
And for God sake, do we have gun control in Lebanon?

As per murder by firearm: 0.76 per 100,000
Lebanon
rank per ownership: 28
firearm per 100: 21
Total firearms: 750,000
Homicide by firearm: 31
Rate per 100,000 :0.76
% homicide per firearm: 36.5%

Try comparing to developed countries. It's a little more apples to apples that way.
If you're going to compare to undeveloped, bring Guatemala into the mix.. As it's more than 30 gun homicides per 100k...

The point is that the presence of firearms, full military style, and being in a third world country where there is virtually no enforcement of gun control laws does not mean that the homicide rate would be sky high. This is exactly the same point of the video.

As per developed countries, if you remove the 5 or so large cities infested with gangs and gang on gang crime is a daily scene US would compare favorably to all other G7 countries.

1. In the post editor, click on the "Video" button.... I have trouble using the youtube tags here... don't know why.
2. Paste the link URL between the "video" tags ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pELwCqz2JfE" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; )
3. Remove the "s" from HTTPS --> HTTP
4. Remove the "www." from the front end of the URL (I have no idea why this is necessary... I've never seen this step needed before.)
.... so... this is what winds up between the "video" tags after all the editing... http://youtube.com/watch?v=pELwCqz2JfE" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
5. Submit

Done.

^^ Thanks ^^. It's a shame the BBS software can't deal with the typical YouTube URL like youtu.be.
