As for the percentages, yes, you could argue that one is not comparable except that the statement 'Australian women are now raped over three times as often as American women.' isn't a percentage.

Wait! Are we the shitty rust bucket or the Cadillac dealer in the analogy?

Look I am not arguing whether or not not Australia has a more effective or less effective gun laws. I am just saying a percent is a poor benchmark because it can be manipulated.

Even Australian women are now rapped over times as often as American women. How do quantify that? If only 3 women lived in Australia and all 3 were raped yeah I guess that be true. 100% of the female population was raped in Australia; OMG! How many women was that? Oh 3 compared to the millions that live in the US.

Next you are going to argue only choosy moms choose Jiffy.
