When it comes to the old Assault Weapons ban, yes, @GasBandit is completely right. A lot of the things banned were banned because they were scary looking, not because they had any dramatic effect on the capability of the weapon. It made it so that many weapons that were clearly designed as sporting rifles by their manufacturers were suddenly assault weapons.

Think of how much American culture and news permeate other countries, then compare and contrast with how much news coverage fragile states get. The choice isn't made by a comparison of all 200+ states and their statistics, but by a comparison on how many bad things they've heard about/from/of each state. Perfectly human.
Plus, you ain't gonna get too many Internet points from people in Somalia.
I'd think it'd be more or less possible to get all inhabitants of, say, Tuvalu, to agree on something. For any bigger nation, duh.

That's the Tricolour behind them, so those are French leaders. That makes me think it's supposed to be Francois Hollande (the current president of France) and Marine Le Pen (the blonde woman and president of FN or National Front). FN are basically ultra hard social conservatives.

The next Russian Presidental election isn't until 2018 and he can still do another term before he has to install someone else for a term before he can take over again. He's a de-facto dictator but I wouldn't be surprised if the 2018 election ends in another bloody revolution... he's barely hanging onto control at this point and his machismo won't hold out forever.
What if he wrestles Donald Trump...'s hair?
The first one was so good they included it twice
