Someone sent this to me on my facebook I never use, but here are some interesting graphs from the UN office on drugs and crime.
Consider the source if you may be it checks out if you google it from the UN site.http://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/data-a.../homicide.html

And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Calling out father, prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky..

Guess that folks don't look all that vulnerable with a gun in their hands, eh?

No, UN
It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

Well, there goes that discussion. Since the article is from Brietbat, that's the only excuse libs need to disregard it. Hell, if Breitbart came out and said the sky was blue and the sun rises in the East, the left would automatically deny the allegations because of the source.
Our "open-minded" liberals are just soooo tolerant of other ideas.
Democrats believe that "politics is war by other means." And they are at war with America, with common sense and even common decency. Those who would mount an effective opposition had better have a high tolerance for slime, slander and abuse.

UN see her first link http://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/data-a.../homicide.html
http://data.un.org/Data.aspx?d=UNODC&f=tableCode%3A1
that would probably be why she said consider the source and then that it checks out. Besides, I don't see you upset when certain people use Huffpo or MotherJones

Someone sent me the link from Breitbart then I went to the UN site to check it out or I wouldn't have posted it @jillian.
While I don't ascribe to the logical fallacy of a particular source always being wrong, I know that others do which is why I submitted the UN link and said for people to do their own research.

@Codename Section the homicide rate has gone down radically in NYC. it has nothing to do with gun ownership.
correlation is not causation.
and once breitbart is a link, the tendency is to know that the information is either an outright lie or a distortion…. not on Alyosha's part, but on the site.

Standby, I'm sure @jillian is confirming the validity of the report as we speak, and will be along posthaste with an apology.
