Interesting Fun Fact

The rate of gun ownership among civilians in Tunisia is the lowest in the world. 0.1 Firearms Per 100 People, as opposed to a rate of 88.8 firearms per 100 people in the United States.

The gun lunatics think we need MORE guns just in case the government would become a tyranny. Interestingly, the people who live in the least-armed country on Earth last year managed to overthrow a brutal, 24-year-old dictatorship.

Maybe if the U.S. government ever becomes a tyranny, we can import some Tunisians to show us how it's done.
