For those against gun control, here's a funny article.

The first paragraph is my favorite.

Anyone familiar with statistical analysis knows that statistics can be twisted to say almost anything. Take for example the number of deaths caused by medical mishaps: 120,000 per year in the U.S. which has approximately 700,000 physicians. That’s .171 deaths per doctor each year. Compare that with the number of gun owners, which is around 80,000,000, with 1,500 accidental gun deaths each year. That means that the number of accidental, gun related deaths each year per gun owner is .0000188. Nevertheless it would be ludicrous to say that doctors are 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners. The comparison between gun owners and physicians just makes no sense. So let’s look at some statistics that really that do make sense.

Time to ban doctors....

Added following information:
Comparisons of any type of one country to another are very difficult. We can't fairly compare the US to any other country for issues such as gun control, education, drinking age, etc. Those issues are intertwined with our society and culture, both of which vary greatly from any other country.
