…It’s time for a new approach. That’s why we are bringing the “Lawsuit for Survival” before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. It’s the first suit to demand that the United States uphold the human right to live, free from gun violence. It’s part of a broader global Campaign for Survival to reframe the gun debate by ensuring that all nations, including the United States, recognize and protect our most fundamental right.
…Our suit asks the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which has jurisdiction over the United States as part of the Organization of the American States, to affirm that international law requires nations to protect people from gun violence, and that by enabling and tolerating ubiquitous shootings, the United States violated its obligations under human rights laws…
…
The obligation to protect life under human rights laws is consistent with America’s founding principles. “America’s First Freedom” is not a right to guns, as the National Rifle Association claims; the first right the Founders enshrined in the Declaration of Independence was the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Guns weren’t mentioned. When the Framers later addressed “arms” in the Second Amendment, it is our view that they intended to protect state military units (“a well-regulated militia”), not individual gun rights. Nor did they intend that gun-toting individuals, rather than government entities, should defend fundamental rights.
The right to live outweighs the right to own guns….Even the most avid gun owners should agree that the right of children to live deserves more protection than gun ownership. The gun violence epidemic in the United States will never end until the federal government recognizes that its most basic obligation, morally as well as legally, is to protect Americans’ right to live and not be shot.

Headquartered in Washington, D.C., United States, the OAS is a "multilateral regional body focused on human rights, electoral oversight, social and economic development, and security in the Western Hemisphere", according to the Council on Foreign Relations.
- And “interference with the internal affairs of the member states”
The OAS looks like another commie group President Trump needs to shut down.
THE REST OF THE WORLD CANNOT TAMPER WITH OUR CONSTITUTION.
A HARD “NO”.
Treaties are always subordinate to the US Constitution within the United States.
The challenge to anyone that wants to control guns is to take the guns out of the hands of criminals first. …and criminal countries, like Mexico.
....”A well regulated militia being the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution....
you can tell these human rights advocates or whatever they fancy themselves to go to hell.....
I’m old enough to remember when the Israelis were free from gun violence, well, at least until the Hamanimals showed up with guns to torture, rape, burn, decapitate and murder by virtue of them having guns, and the Israelis not having guns...
” has jurisdiction over the United States “
ya ... good luck with that
I don’t remember agreeing ...
The OAS can go pee up a rope.
“Demand that the United States uphold the human right to live, ‘
We have that already-
That’s why we have the 2nd Amendment, that tells the GOVERNEMNT that they cannot disarm The People.
If you remove gun deaths of a certain segment of our population, gun death stats are less than many countries
My right to defend myself by any means necessary supercedes any rights of any group or reason...If a bunch of kids have to die so be it...If it were up to the Left they would be aborted anyways.
The Supreme Court is always supreme with respect to the US.
Dear Jonathan Lowry and Manuel Oliver,
Shut the f*** up and sit the f*** down before you get shot.
Love,

And they will eventually apply this "logic" to car ownership, chainsaw ownership, knife ownership, dog ownership, cigarette lighter ownership, plastic bag ownership, and computer ownership.
Prepare to become peaceful agrarians, bringing in the harvest for your betters while they raise your children to be their sex toys with no backtalk from you. /s
the Inter-American Court of Human Rights = commie front group tasked with the disarmament of civilian populations.
Yes ... we do need to fix our ‘gun policy’ ... there are something on the order of 20,000 anti-gun laws that need to be removed from the books.
As I remember... The British tried that
Leftists tools. Always wanting to disarm the citizens instead of punishing the criminals.
