Kerry: Foreign Students 'Scared' of Guns in America
Weekly Standard ^ | 4/15/13 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 04/15/2013 7:06:18 AM PDT by illiac

"We had an interesting discussion about why fewer students are coming to, particularly from Japan, to study in the United States, and one of the responses I got from our officials from conversations with parents here is that they're actually scared. They think they're not safe in the United States and so they don't come," Kerry tells CNN.

Fewer students are coming to the United States to study? You got any proof of that Hanoi Boi? If the lie you tell is true, why are we having this massive “immigration reform” debate? Get a life Hanoi Boi. You are a liar.

Easy solution.

Don’t come here.

After all, if these “students” are majoring in something other than science or engineeering, our schools aren’t worth a smelly Obama and they’d be much better off in their own countries.

And the science and math students are smart enough to understand how a gun works and consequently are not “scared” of them.

With the Norks prepping their missiles with nukes, I’d feel safer here than in Japan.

Good reason to ignore the Second Amendment: if immigrants refuse to come here to take our jobs because they are scared we have guns.

What if immigrants opposed abortion Kerry?

LOL bigtime. One of the public ranges I frequent has lots of Japanese tourists who rent, and shoot, the very first time. Impossible to do at home, I think some may even be part of a tour group.

hows about this: rather than pandering to hoplophobia, hows about educating folks about things like Dr. Lott’s “More guns less crime”???

yeah we have shootouts at the OK corral all the time, only in Chicago or where drugs are. I despise JOhn Kerry’s hater mindset. He is an embarrassment

Aw too bad. Go to North Korea kids. They have succeeded in banning private ownership of guns entirely.

A few weeks ago, sequestreation was to blame for everything. Today it’s guns. What will it be next?

Instead of portraying America as the Wild Wild West, why didn't Sec State dispel the myth? Isn't his job (getting paid to do) representing OUR STATES overseas?

Fn Kerry could have pointed out all those inner city killings and high crime rates all under Dem control for a long long time and most if not all have STRICTEST gun control laws. FUJ(Fn)K!

I don't believe his statement for a single minute....especially since it hasn't deterred the flood of people coming into this country. What nonsense!

First off, Kerry is full of SH**

I have foreign friends, mostly from Asia - and they LOVE target-shooting. Certainly not something they are allowed to do in China, or Korea.
