Editorial Describes America Through the Eyes of an Anti-Gunner (Too funny!)
NRA-ILA ^ | May 9, 2014 | staff

Posted on 05/11/2014 6:07:45 PM PDT by LucianOfSamasota

Well, it's nothing especially new in the realm of anti-gun propaganda, but the Washington Post “Morning Mix” section on Thursday reprinted yet another screed by a big city newspaper against U.S. gun culture. The reprinted article followed a template familiar to anyone who is engaged in the gun debate in America.

It reminded readers of past highly-publicized gun crimes.

It depicted President Obama shouting himself "hoarse" over the need for action on gun control.

It made the expected public health analogies, calling gun-related crimes an intractable "malignant tumor."

It indicated that no place in the U.S. is free of firearms, be it "campuses of universities and high schools, department stores and even churches."***

*** Only this time, the editorial wasn't originally published in a U.S. city. It was published by a state newspaper in Pyongyang, North Korea. You can read it here for yourself.

is the place where the ruling authorities are said to execute rivals with flamethrowers or have them eaten alive by starving dogs (accusations the Post article at least acknowledged). It is the gun-free paradise where, according to Human Rights Watch, "Arbitrary arrest, lack of due process, and torture are pervasive problems." That's not all, according to the watchdog group: "There is no independent media, functioning civil society, or religious freedom. Government policies have continually subjected North Koreans to food shortages and famine."

We're certainly not anywhere close to these conditions in the U.S., thankfully.

Not yet .............but Obastard and the rest of the democRATS would if they could.

I think there are a fair number of RINOs that are anti gun, but keep their opinions on that to themselves because they know what would happen. But they will turn on us if the time comes when they think they will not get chucked out of office for going after our guns.

They have their finger in the wind...

Full text of article:

U.S. Plagued with Serious Gun-related Crimes Pyongyang, May 7 (KCNA) -- Serious gun-related crimes occurred in Texas and Kansas, etc. of the U.S., claiming the lives of dozens of people. At a U.S. military base in Texas State a soldier in his combat fatigue desperately made shooting spree, leaving three persons dead and 16 others wounded. It caused such great chaos that many around the scene of the crime ran about to seek shelters. A similar crime took place in November, 2009, too in this military base, leaving 13 dead and 32 others wounded. As regards the gun-related crime which occurred in Kansas on April 14, Obama shouted hoarse that such case should not be allowed to occur again as it makes people worry about their safety. But gun-related crimes are like a malignant tumor hard to cure as they are rampant in the society as a trend. Due to ceaseless gun-related crimes, people are exposed to constant threat to their safety. They are not free from uneasiness and horror. In the U.S. 69.3 percent of murders and 41 percent of robberies are gun-related crimes. The number of guns possessed by individual inhabitants reaches about O.3 billion and over 100 000 people are suffering from gun-related crimes. In New York in 2013 alone, there occurred 1 093 gun-related crimes. The U.S. is plagued with all social evils and awash with guns. So, gun-related crimes take place frequently regardless of time, place and age. Shooting sprees occur at campuses of universities and high schools, department stores and even churches. Due to these crimes, those who are not particularly related to criminals fall victim to them with their grudge unsettled and many people meet grievous deaths. Even soldiers and policemen who should be responsible for the lives and security of people are involved in these gun-related crimes. For instance, a policeman shot a man living in a tent to death in March last. As society is awash with guns, even children brandish guns, causing a series of gun-related crimes. A 2 year-old boy fired a loaded gun at his 11-year old sister on her breast by accident in the bedroom of his parents at a house in Philadelphia City on April 6. A little boy in a city of Georgia State also accidentally shot her 10-year old sister to death on April 4. As seen above, the U.S. tops the world list of gun-related crimes. It is quite natural that social uneasiness is growing day by day among Americans due to various crimes including gun-related crimes.

North Korea insults Obama with racist barbs,

http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/09/world/asia/north-korea-insults-obama/?hpt=hp_t3

CNN) — Vitriolic insults hurled by North Korea’s state-run media are so frequent that they’re usually not news.

But recent KCNA articles use such racially-charged rhetoric that they have drawn criticism from the White House’s National Security Council, which called them “particularly ugly and disrespectful.”

North Korea’s state media KCNA described President Barack Obama using racial epithets and likened him to a “wicked black monkey.”

The most offensive piece, published in Korean on May 2 under the title “Divine punishment to the world’s one and only delinquent Obama,” repeatedly refers to him as a monkey.

“You can also tell this by his appearance and behavior, and while it may be because he is a crossbreed, one cannot help thinking the more one sees him that he has escaped from a monkey’s body,” it stated.

So...it's President Barack McChimpy Hitler, then, I suppose.

Well, I heard that was how we referred to the President these days. ;-)

North Korea, we need not remind you, is the place where the ruling authorities are said to execute rivals with flamethrowers or have them eaten alive by starving dogs (accusations the Post article at least acknowledged). It is the gun-free paradise where, according to Human Rights Watch, "Arbitrary arrest, lack of due process, and torture are pervasive problems."

Control freak liberals would love the place IF they were the thugs in charge...
