No, it's the logical extension of the US claim of a "right to protect", of all the stupid, "humanitarian" reasons for going to war put forward by the Bush-Obama administrations.

The death toll from firearms in the US suggests that the country is gripped by civil war
The annual toll from firearms in the US is running at 32,000 deaths and climbing, even though the general crime rate is on a downward path (it is 40% lower than in 1980). If this perennial slaughter doesn't qualify for intercession by the UN and all relevant NGOs, it is hard to know what does.
But no nation sees itself as outsiders do. Half the country is sane and rational while the other half simply doesn't grasp the inconsistencies and historic lunacy of its position, which springs from the second amendment right to keep and bear arms, and is derived from English common law and our 1689 Bill of Rights. We dispensed with these rights long ago, but American gun owners cleave to them with the tenacity that previous generations fought to continue slavery.
There is absolutely nothing he (Obama) can do, which underscores the fact that America is in a jam and that international pressure may be one way of reducing the slaughter over the next generation. This has reached the point where it has ceased to be a domestic issue. The world cannot stand idly by.

When criminals begin to consider that their line of work is becoming increasingly hazardous, not from a question of prosecution, but from the point of view that today's crime might be the last thing they attempt, then things might get a little more peaceful.
The Guardian is a partner of UK Chatham House = US Council on Foreign Relations. They don’t believe in sovreignity ...they’re globalists. Once they implement healthcare - they’ve got our guns - they’ll own us.
6 corporations control 90% of the media:

178.00 at the Farm and Home store. Can’t beat it. My partner at work and I refer to purchasing mags, ammo, and other accessories as “making Obama sad”. Every time he orders a new magazine for his AR or whatever, I get a text saying, “I just made Obama sad”..
Re your post 113, I sure haven’t forgotten the continuing saga of “loose” for “lose” and “there,” “their,” and “they’re,” and, of course, “it’s” for “its” (they seem to believe that every word can put in possessive form by an apostrophe and an “s”).
It’s as though these people have never sat down and read any published works. As you well know, reading published authors and paying attention as to how words are spelled in these works is the best way to learn how to spell.

Hey blue helmets,
Just come try to take my gun.
you’ll all make fine TARGETS.
He makes it sound like gun crime is up while other crime is down, when in fact gun crime is down too, even as gun ownership has increased.
If anything needs international intervention, it’s the barbaric British healthcare system.
Found on another blog
I`m not the author of the line below.
“Which part of Europe are you from? the part who`s ass we saved, or the part who`s ass we kicked ? “
My biggest pet peeve is then and than.. I think I see more of that mistake than any other :/
sight,” “cite” and “site” on FR posts.
Maybe they do this on purpose to let spelling police have something to post about.
Who the hell is Henry Porter and who the hell cares what he thinks? If he wants our guns, come and take them. Oh, and tell him to be sure to bring the U.N. blue helmets with him, he will need all the help you can get.
So we lost the War of 1812 and we became a British colony again.
I never knew that, thanks for the info.
Yeah, smartass, that must be the reason. You’re so insightful.
Exactly. We don’t have a gun problem, we have an “Amish” problem.
The War of 1812 consisted of three fronts: Canadian/U.S. border; Atlantic Ocean; The American South and Gulf Coast. The U.S. had victories against the British and their indian allies on two fronts, but were defeated in the Canadian/U.S. front. However, despite the defeat, the new Nation lost nothing in that theater with respect to land.
The War of 1812 was viewed as a second war for independence, and the U.S. soundly won that war.
Yes we did.
If we hadn’t won that war we would all have bad teeth, speak English with a funny accent, be eating lousy food, playing Cricket and soccer, driving on the wrong side of the road, calling some two bit jack wagon Lord, and singing God Save the Queen or whatever that song is they sing.
Boy, they just can’t get over the fact they lost the Revolutionary War.
Excellent.
I don’t believe them. According to the CDC, for 2010 the number of deaths by suicide (not list of how it was done) was 38,364 and that was tenth on the list. If you take out those using a gun then gun related deaths (homicide?) are much lower.
The list didn’t even have homicide in the top 15 causes of death.
