After North Korea, Maybe A return To Israel's Old Borders?

President Donald J. Trump has created an atmosphere wherein it seems possible that the two Koreas will finally end their war, and as a bonus, and a prerequisite North Korea could get out of the nuclear weapons business. Maybe soon as his agenda will be a similarly positive development with regards to the ongoing threat to Israel from its Arab neighbors. It may be too much to hope for, but, someday it must happen.

Did you hear that our Government, specifically the CDC has been keeping from the public the rate of defensive use of firearms versus the much smaller rate of rate by offenders? Not widely reported.

The final adjusted prevalence of 1.24% therefore implies that in an average year during 1996–1998, 2.46 million U.S. adults used a gun for self-defense. This estimate, based on an enormous sample of 12,870 cases (unweighted) in a nationally representative sample, strongly confirms the 2.5 million past-12-months estimate obtained Kleck and Gertz (1995)….CDC’s results, then, imply that guns were used defensively by victims about 3.6 times as often as they were used offensively by criminals.
The quote is taken from a Daily Caller article, (linked here).

Our Government, here to help us, right?

Did you hear that one about the comedian who made the audience laugh?  Ah, never mind, it's an old one.
