Again, what does gadaffi, Saddam, the Taliban, Cuba, Nicaragua or any other place the U.S. has intervened/interacted with have to do with individual Americans owning firearms. They are mutually exclusive.

We can all walk and chew at the same time.

That is the reason the world criticizes America, not because of gun violence. No one on the international stage cares about Americans owning guns, they care about foreign policy and their own livelihood being effected by malign American military and political influence. I think that was the point in bringing it up.

Exactly. The title says "all the other countries that rage against its citizens being able to defend themselves". That is a blatant, utter lie.

Criticisms against the USA revolve around other topics but not that one. Yes, some people think there is more violent death because gun ownership is so prevalent. Whatever.
