Great article
via Instapundit from the BBC about the tranquility of America despite all the gun violence they hear about from the NY Times.
Wait till you get to London Texas, or Glasgow Montana, or Oxford Mississippi or Virgin Utah, for that matter, where every household is required by local ordinance to possess a gun.
Folks will have guns in all of these places and if you break into their homes they will probably kill you.
They will occasionally kill each other in anger or by mistake, but you never feel as unsafe as you can feel in south London.
It is a paradox. Along with the guns there is a tranquillity and civility about American life of which most British people can only dream.
From their own mouth's. Even with guns banned in England, they still don't feel as safe.
Yes, it may seem like a paradox to those who do not understand that guns are not the problem. It's humanity's moral compass. It's humanity's lack of GOD fearing principles.
