That's something you won't hear the leftist American media talking about.

But longer term accommodations, six feet underground, don’t have the same appeal.
Come on now, tell the whole story — fascist liberal hyperventilating about gun crime is up over 238%!
Wow! (Exclamation, I’m not yelling at you) Those maps really illustrate how anti-rights asshats have to pick and choose to find a place that’s simultaneously lower gun and lower crime than another place such as the US.

never mind.... got it
