Peoples Republic of China Hates Guns in the hands of Citizens

Here we have the Full Text of Human Rights Record of the United States in 2011 according to the Consulate General of the Peoples Republic of China New York.

I could present it to you here in full, but really what most interests me is this keen observation.

"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 U.S. people hold between 35 percent and 50 percent of the world' s civilian-owned guns, with every 100 people having 90 guns (Online edition of the Foreign Policy, January 9, 2011). According to a Gallup poll in October 2011, 47 percent of American adults reported that they had a gun. That was an increase of six percentage points from a year ago and the highest Gallup had recorded since 1993. Fifty-two percent of middle-aged adults, aged between 35 and 54, reported to own guns, and the adults' gun ownership in the south region was 54 percent (The China Press, October 28, 2011). The New York Times reported on November 14, 2011, that since 1995, more than 3,300 felons and people convicted of domestic violence misdemeanors had regained their gun rights in the state of Washington and of that number, more than 400 had subsequently committed new crimes, including shooting and other felonies (The New York Times, November 14, 2011)."

I love it. On the one hand, they say we have a lot of crime, on the other they deride American ownership of guns for self protection. All this as more Americans are buying guns and the FBI crime stats say that crime is going down, no matter of what the New York Times or China Press want to make ya all believe.



No doubt from that government point of view, such freedom should always be forbidden, lest it is turned against the government itself.


Who said it best, "Power comes from the barrel of a gun"
MAO?
