If that's true, and I'm not convinced that it is, it's most likely
because the USA has more criminals, as verified by the number of
prisons in the USA. Therefore, guns provide protection from them.

The reasons we have more criminals is another argument I won't get in

But, the fact that the USA has more criminals is a result of
disastrous liberal nanny government policies.

    I've been riding a lot longer than you

Not buyin' it. Do you have proof of racing back in the 80's? I do. Any claims you make are "undocumented bragging".

and more miles per year.

Which doesn't impress me. There's miles, and there's quality. I prefer quality. When you can do a 60 mile ride on a fixed-gear, maybe we'll have a conversation.

Until then you're just an old asshole who happens to ride a bike.
Besides that, what does your yearly mileage have to do with incarceration rates in Social Democracies? Answer: absolutely nothing other than to show that you have no capacity to put together a rational argument on the issue.

But go ahead and pretend that you know something about anything you paperwork geek.

I know vastly more than you on vastly more subjects - Amazing Facts(TM) from the alternative physical universe of Tommyworld notwithstanding.
