When you say it that way, that is what Canuck2 must have meant. That's the only way it makes sense. Of all children in the Western world who are killed by guns, 87% are in the United States. Not, as he said, 87% of all children in the Western world are killed by guns in the USA.

Right on, if criminals cared about laws, they wouldn't be...wait for it...
