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.

I’m scared of Japan! Think of all those blind swordsmen running around carving up people!

OK, I used to watch lots of samurai flicks on the IFC channel before they went crappy commercial.;-D

“Fewer foreign students?” That’s funny. Sitting in a room here at work-I’m the only American here-this story is a bunch of bovine scatology.

I think Kerry’s full of shite - again. Usually those from other countries are curious if anything about guns. They need to be educated - from gun owners like us that no, this isn’t the wild west.

Your point is loud and clear.

Have you wondered (1) what other majority reasons Kerry tried to ignore, and (2) his mother's dying words to him was ‘integrity integrity integrity’?

More chance of them dying in a Plane Crash on the way here, unless they’re going to School in Chicago or DC.

Oh that’s right, there are no Guns allowed in Chicago or DC, what was I thinking?

Please! You are giving really vile and despicable human beings a bad name by comparing Kerry to them.

The people that are probably the main danger to everyone in this country, whether citizens or tourists, re people not likely to be NRA members, or "bitter clingers" or even white people for that matter. All people that Kerry & his ilk want to take guns from. Also, should the Secretary of State be commenting on domestic policy?

I have a number of European friends and whenever they come to visit they ALL want to go shooting because they can’t do it at home. They love getting firearms-related t-shirts from me as gifts and their colleagues back home are jealous of them.

Kerry can come at look at the two UCs my kids go to - they are both FILLED with foreign students, especially from Asia.

Foreign students fall all over themselves to attend schools in the US — they hope to get a diploma with one of those Mitt Romney green cards stapled to it so they can replace American children in the workforce.

What would an elitist like Kerry know about anything?

Go back to your exclusive gated community and bullet-proof limousines your fool! You have NO idea what you’re talking about.

Foreign students? Let them get educated in their OWN countries.

I was in Vegas recently and came across some advertisements for the local gun range — ALL in Japanese!!

Guy at the guy store told me that Japanese tour buses head straight for the rifle range — they can’t WAIT to shoot guns, the more powerful the better. (he also told me he couldn’t sell guns to Californians).

On the way out of town, I saw a billboard advertising a gun range with all the different gun options - also in Japanese.

LOL.

Actually, I’ve never before heard about scary Kerry’s mother’s last words to him.

The Jesuit university I attended was in the worst part of Milwaukee. We had a lot of foreign graduate students the Jesuits would bring from Africa to get degrees in things like Civil Engineering.

Each and every one was absolutely terrified of the local blacks and would not even speak to them.

A few weeks ago, sequestreation was to blame for everything. Today it’s guns. What will it be next? Oh, I don't know, any or all of the following: Homophobia, George Bush II, Republicans, or the all-purpose, "It was Sarah Palin's fault!!"
