Clearly said by someone who'd rather see a wife/daughter raped and/or dead than capable of self-defense.

I just came back from an international flight from the U.S. to Peru.

NO PROBLEM!

One of the flight attendents has a Kindle DX, but she had yet to see a Kindle 2 or a Mighty Bright until she met me. I also showed her my elegant Noreve cover, and she "ooh-ed" and "ahh-ed" in all the right places. She left extremely satisfied. And I...well, I had a big grin all over my face.

That's my experience, and that's the way it is, by gum.

Which is why the freely available arms and ammunition in the USA strangely leads to a higher murder rate than in countries where such things are not freely available. I suppose.

Not true if you actually look at all statistics.

and not true if you look at crimes prevented.

You don't get away with that. What statistics? I never saw a single statistic that suggested the USA has a lower homicide rate than the UK.

And how exactly do you measure 'crimes prevented' that proves the existence of a firearm did the preventing. My guess would be I could find equally convincing arguments crimes are prevented by the existence of a fish.

Next you'll be telling us capital punishment is a crime preventer LOL

Don't know about that one, but my favourite quote on the subject is the one that states that the right to bear arms is only slightly less ridiculous than the right to arm bears

Since you've never seen statistics your claim is certain not based on fact.
