USA –-(Ammoland.com)- 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.”

The conclusion that gun bans will result in enhanced protection of lives and personal security flies in the face of both the American and Chinese experiences. Predictably, the report presents many of the same cherry-picked arguments used by “leading” U.S. and international “gun control” organizations that totally ignore the protective benefits of arms in private hands.  And, as typical with advocates of a centralized monopoly of violence, Chinese-style genocide, which resulted in government-caused deaths of unknown tens of millions of defenseless human beings in the 20th Century, and the current brutal occupation and tyrannical suppression of Tibetan sovereignty, is left unacknowledged. Left unsaid is the inconvenient truth that rendering captive populations unable to resist makes such monstrous crimes against humanity not only possible but inevitable.

Also left unquestioned: What is the motivation and agenda of any American who advocates Chicom-style citizen disarmament, knowing full-well its blood-drenched historic record?

Obama and many liberals in his Administration and Congress would agree, as does The United Nations, pushing their World Gun Ban Treaty,so they all agree with the Chicoms and all would love to see Americans disarmed and America Gun Free.. Thanks to Obama, China owns a lot of America, since they loaned Trillions and feel they can dictate policies to Obama and make him jump and obey………..

Screw them and the horse they came in on.

This is a sardonic joke from the chicoms, rulers of the world’s biggest concentration camp!

…and the only time they slow down the persecutions of Christians is during the Christmas and Easter seasons, when they are selling us their junky ornaments and stuffed bunnies!

I love it ! China talking about human rights at all, let alone condemning the freest nation on the face of the earth. I bet they are worried. They know, as do all dictatorships, that democracy is coming. Like it or not. Its spreading thru the middle east and its coming to them before long. They don't want their citizens to be armed. Or the other possibility is that they somehow researched the Brady web site and found that pile of crap to be a factual representation of America, then drew that conclusion, which I could also see happening if… Read more »

Of course the Chinese are opposed to civilian firearms ownership….they don't want anyone shooting back at them.
