American gun use is out of control. Shouldn't the world intervene [W:44]

Democide 262 million dead thanks to the likes of socialist / leftist. I notice very few of those millions at the hands of democratically elected capitalist.

That's America, we say, as news of the latest massacre breaks – last week it was the slaughter of 12 people by Aaron Alexis at Washington DC's navy yard – and move on. But what if we no longer thought of this as just a problem for America and, instead, viewed it as an international humanitarian crisis – a quasi civil war, if you like, that calls for outside intervention? As citizens of the world, perhaps we should demand an end to the unimaginable suffering of victims and their families – the maiming and killing of children – just as America does in every new civil conflict around the globe.

The annual toll from firearms in the US is running at 32,000 deaths and climbing, even though the general crime rate is on a downward path (it is 40% lower than in 1980). If this perennial slaughter doesn't qualify for intercession by the UN and all relevant NGOs, it is hard to know what does.

No intervention is needed, even if it were out of control, (even though it's not).

I wonder if that wanker will be out in front of the troops when they come. (No, I don't.)

Perhaps he should petition the UN to end the staggering violent crime in his own country.

It's an important discussion and as Polgara pointed out, Hillary Clinton signed the UN small arms treaty.

That's funny you say that. I live in a real redneck area and you can't engage these guys in politics, but when the second is mentioned/threatened, I hear comments like that!

Hell no.

We are a nation of over 300 million people with over 310 million firearms in the hands of civilians,so the idea that our "gun use" is out of control is laughable.

Twenty thousand of those are suicides, IE self inflicted deaths. The majority of those twelve thousand are most likely scumbag on scumbag shootings. Hopefully they are not including homeowner shooting burglar, police shooting bad guy or someone using lethal force for self defense into those stats.Although anti-2nd amendment scum do try to inflate the firearm death toll.

True, there's not a problem. But as we can see, the second amendment isn't just under attack domestically.

I doubt that they're going to try to enforce any policy on the US. They don't have the authority, or the power to do anything about our domestic policies.

That's what Iraq, A-Stan, Iran, Libya and a host of other countries thought.

When the US becomes a genocidal terrorist dictatorship, I'll worry.

Won't the UN's small arms treaty be the deciding factor?

Alas, I don't recall many specifics, and I am not even sure it is genuine, but I heard that some time during WWII, there was some discussion among top Japanese military authorities about the possibility of invading the U.S.; and that the statement made most strongly against it was that if Japanese troops landed in the U.S., there'd be a rifle behind every blade of grass.

Very much unfortunately, Americans are not as well-armed, now, as they were then, but I would like to think that if the U.N. brought foreign troops into our country to make war against the American people, that there'd be enough of us coming forth with our own guns to take out any such troops, and any traitors who dared to side with them.

Are you crazy? I've been hearing this crap for years..It will never happen...
 
Well how many of the 263 million dead people enjoyed the right to keep and bear arms? Democide is the killing of people by govts, and are govts banned from bearing arms by the UN treaty? I don't THINK so!

Alright! How do you want me to help you with your quasi civil war? :idea:

Patrol the streets? :sword:

Convince you how stupid does "fighting to the death for a right that kills you" sounds?

What?
