The United Nations human rights chief called on the United States Tuesday to enforce more effective gun control measures in the aftermath of the Orlando terrorist attack, dismissing as irresponsible pro-gun propaganda the notion that firearms make societies safer.
U.N. human rights commissioner Zeid Raad Al Hussein urged the U.S. government to live up to its obligations to protect citizens from the horrifyingly commonplace but preventable violent attacks that are the direct result of insufficient gun control.
Examples from many countries clearly show that a legal framework to control the acquisition and use of firearms has led to a dramatic reduction in violent crime, said Zeid.

...urged the U.S. government to live up to its obligations to protect citizens from the horrifyingly commonplace but preventable violent attacks that are the direct result of insufficient gun control." Really, and just how are you going to do that without enslaving the entire country? You're just like another idiot I know...

They need to talk about why mass murders are for the most part something that started in the last 50 or 60 years.
I went to school in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and the possibility of a school shooting happening wasn’t even thought of.

The picture of those poor bastards in the trench are a product of what happens when a government confiscates the public’s weapons. And that’s what this government is trying to do. Take our guns away and unleash the savage Islamic, goat fuckers on us with no way to defend ourselves. They mean to reduce the world population by 95% so elitists can live in their ideal little world.

How about withdrawing from the UN, kicking the UN out of America, and then burning the building to the ground? Yes, that sounds much more like what the US needs.

Tell that to a Chicagoan and they will deck you. Tell that to a Brazilian and they will rob you. Tell that to a Muslim migrant in Europe and they will rape you. Tell that to a Venezuelan and they will warm a pot for you.

Obama is rushing the Enemy into USA as fast as he can get away with. By the hundreds of thousands. The more firearms he can “take away” from Americans, the fewer of us will be able to defend ourselves and our families from his Moslem Islamonazi jihadi terrorists. It’s that simple.

I am going to post this on every single
"common sense gun grabbing post going forward post Orlando. No new law would have stopped this MUZZIE convert from his ISLAM driven rampage and slaughter of the gays - which are put to death in many Islamic countries where Sharia is practiced. They want America to convert to Sharia law.

The UN has mastered two military maneuvers - retreat and surrender. Fatboy Zeid would get his butt kicked in a stick fight with a kindergartener.

“U.N. human rights commissioner Zeid Raad Al Hussein...”
Yes, well, he would want the American people disarmed, wouldn’t he. It makes attacks so much easier.
