Kerry: Foreign Students 'Scared' of Guns in America

Weekly Standard ^ | 4/15/13 | Daniel Halper

"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.

Who gives a crap?

They are still free to get on a plane and go back to their own socialist hellhole. They aren’t needed here anyway.

[Billthedrill]

I’m scared of bedwetting liberals systematically taking our rights away. Maybe the government should do something about that.

[Mr. Jeeves]

They aren’t scared of guns, they are scared of an urban predator class that is wholly owned and operated by the Democratic Party. It’s not surprising Mr. Kerry didn’t want to address that, and prefers to reframe the foreigners fears as abject terror of a bunch of white guys in flannel shirts out plinking at the ranch.

“If they don’t like our guns....stay home!”

Exactly, unquestionably, indubitably, without doubt,
right on the mark.

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

This was true 30+ years ago when Milton Miteybad was in college, at The Enormous State University at Austin.

Unfortunately for John Kerry and his poor attempt at making a point, there simply isn't a shortage of foreign students in U.S. institutions of higher learning. In fact, the case can be made that our universities are overflowing with foreign students, with more arriving each semester, all seemingly oblivious, by virtue of their very presence, to this pathological firearms fear Kerry cites.

You'd think that there would be far fewer foreign students enrolled in U.S. universities, if there were in fact this paralyzing fear of guns on the part of these students. Yet, there are more foreign students in the U.S. than ever before.

Sounds like Kerry is trying to use raw sewage for brains again. (I tried to tell him that doesn't work, but he wouldn't listen.) ;-)

Good!!!

[ilovesarah2012]

I think that is a good thing. Apparently it doesn’t scare Mexicans, though.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Here's an article about Japan, Guam, and guns. They're not all scared.

Note: even though this article is from 1997, 2013 recent articles on this are almost a cut and paste of the original, with current anti gun whining added in.

It would be really funny if say, there were to be some Japanese students who aren’t “afraid” were to make a sign. The sign would read: “HELLPP- Mr. Kerry-We’re sooo SCAREDD OF GUNS in AMERICA!”! That my friends-would be a gas! Of course as you might remember, is in reference to the funny sign made by US soldiers in Iraq! It was in response to Mr. Kerry’s education comment flop a few years back!

[dsutah]

Yeah you’re right; if they’re sooo afraid of US because of guns, why are so many coming here? Honestly, he’s like the chuckle-head in the White House; always going around and apologizing for the USA! That just burns me up; doesn’t it occur to these people like Obama and Kerry that if were such evil people, why are they knocking themselves out to come here? It would be wonderful for once to see people go out from our government tell about the good our country stands for, and things our people have done to make the world better!

[TigersEye]

Well, boo hoo hoo! So what?

[left that other site]

Well, there is a simple solution to That earth-shattering problem.

STAY HOME!

if these “students” are majoring in something other than science or engineeering

They're not, they're are all working on their advanced degrees in those subjects as well as medical.

It's the clueless American students who are going into the liberal arts programs, and I do mean LIBERAL........

One of my best friends brought a gal to the states from the Ukraine about 10 years ago to marry her. When she arrived, she knew almost no English at all. After about two years, she enrolled in college and eventually got her degrees in Actuarial science and math, all the while learning English too. She said her hardest class was a calculus class taught by a prof. from India and she just couldn't understand him because of his accent........

Man, irony is just so lost on some people. I wonder if John “F’ing’’ Kerry(he was in Vietnam you know) told the Asian students about how he killed Asians by the score in Vietnam with guns and bombs and rockets and such.I’m sure he told how it was ‘’seared, seared ‘’ I tell you in his mind.

[jmacusa]

Yeah! Besides, who would want to go to Japan anyway? God knows any moment that big ass, over-grown lizard with the worst case of bad breath pops up out of no where stomping the hell out of everything! If that ain’t bad enough there’s that, what-ever-it-is flying thing like some giant bat on steroids(Rodan?) flying around and that big ass moth. Jeez, like that thing doesn’t need the biggest can of Raid!

[aruanan]

John Kerry: Moron, which is scarier, a country with guns and (compared to the rest of the world over the past 100 years) virtually no history of politically-inspired genocide (well, except what the abortionists are doing to the minority pre-born) or living at the mercy of whatever party is in power (think Iraq under Saddam, Iran under everyone since the Shah, Germany under Hitler, the Soviet Union under whoever, China under Mao, Cambodia under Pol Pot, etc)?

[Sir Napsalot]

LOL lol lol. Yours is the best!!!

He DID testify in Congress about the atrocities our troops committed in Nam. That Bast@rd.

[jmacusa]

‘Seared I tell ya SEARED!(did I say ‘’seared?). :-)
