Chinese groups debate supporting US gun ban activists, says report

A Chinese government panel recently invited gun control activists from the United States, along with diplomats and human rights activists for a hearing in Beijing on gun violence in the U.S.

In an article that appeared Wednesday on China’s state-run Global Times, China’s Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC) conducted a hearing to determine whether the U.S. is safe enough for Chinese students and companies to continue their respective studies and business transactions within the U.S.

The article describes how Chinese human rights groups are also considering various efforts against the U.S. for what they have identified as a problem with guns. One proposal under consideration is a bill, the “US Human Rights and Democracy Act,” focused on solving the U.S. gun violence problem and submitting two separate annual reports to the Chinese government to urge the U.S. government to “attach greater importance to human rights issues.”

In another proposal for action, human rights activists reportedly considered preparing programs to bolster the efforts of U.S. anti-gun activists.

“Since Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, the debate over gun control has never ceased among Americans. Yet seven score and 14 years later, people in the country can still purchase guns easily in supermarkets,” authors of the Global Times article wrote.

“Then the politicians began to stir the pot.” Leading one to believe politicians are half of the problem, useful idiots being the other half.

“Human rights” activists going to Beijing to talk about how to take away Americans’ Second Amendment rights.

LOL from the people who slaughtered 70 million (or more) of their own citizens. Hmmm...maybe I'll start the 'Augusto Pinochet Second Amendment Rights' club.

“Easily” and “in supermarkets”?

Feel free to pull your exchange students out China. We’ll be fine.

And crime was very low back then. Then the politicians began to stir the pot.

They had help from the Russians.

Why would our U.S. laws allow such activity? It would weaken our defense against communist countries doing it.

Our Second Amendment is still our most effective defense against foreign occupation.

So they are threatening to stop trade if we aren't disarmed. Interesting.
