China condemns U.S. gun ownership as human rights violation

Post by OakRidgeStars »

From Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea

A report issued by the State Council Information Office of the People's Republic of China has included U.S. gun ownership among a list of human rights violations, Law Enforcement Examiner Jim Kouri reported yesterday. "The Human Rights Record of the United States in 2011" was published last Friday on the PRC’s Consulate General in New York website.

“The United States prioritizes the right to keep and bear arms over the protection of citizens' lives and personal security and exercises lax firearm possession control, causing rampant gun ownership,” the report claims. “The U.S. people hold between 35 percent and 50 percent of the world' s civilian-owned guns, with every 100 people having 90 guns [and] 47 percent of American adults reported that they had a gun.”

When China stops grabbing pregnant women up in the street and ripping the babies out of them they can talk to us about human rights. Until them they can sit in the back of the room.

Please....they just want to think they could invade the US and get away with it....the guns prevent that.

I liked this part:

Thats exactly how we protect our citizens, they are allowed to protect themselves. The gov can't be everywhere at once. We allow the citizens the ability to do what the gov can't and save the gov the trouble of trying to take care of things after the fact.

Here's my reply to China, "ppppplllllllllleeeeeeuuuuuuuuu"

Pronounced like a long stinky wet fart.

There's a very good (if you like science fiction) series out about earth being invaded by hungry aliens. China doesn't survive. Pretty good series.

So now we have other countries trying to tell us how to live? Puuuleeese...... Everyone just needs to mind their own business. An ocean separates us from everyone but Canada and Mexico. AND the Mexicans are trying to come here. They should get their population under control before they start complaining about everyone else.

I had a SCAR 17 and 16. I also had a bunch of Glocks and a couple H&K pistols. Oh and a DDM4, but I sold everything when our government told me these dangerous tools can actually hurt someone. Apparently they grow legs and go on killing sprees.
