USA TODAY SNAPSHOTS: "Countries with high gun ownership rates," by Anne R. Carey and Alejandro Gonzalez [source is Swiss "2007 Small Arms Survey"], 28 October 2008.

Fear not, gun-owners: Obama can't possibly bring us down enough to lose our number-one global ranking.

Here's the top five: US at 89 small arms per 100 people, Yemen at 55 (a gun-&-knife-toting culture without peer in the uncivilized world, but we still kicks their asses!), Switzerland at 46 (who knew?), Finland at 45 (still expecting the Russians), and Serbia at 38 (just got in the habit, I guess).

When I tell you nobody--and I mean NOBODY--digs and glorifies violence more than Americans, I'm not kidding.

We are the first-person-shooting superpower!
