Communist China Calls for Obama to Engage in “Protracted War” for Gun Control

VERBATIM

You can see their point. It’ll be a lot easier for the People’s Liberation Army to do their debt collecting if there aren’t a few hundred million guns out there.

The state news agency in China, the official voice of the government, has called for the United States to quickly adopt stricter gun controls in the aftermath of the shooting rampage in Connecticut that left 28 people dead, including 20 schoolchildren.

“Their blood and tears demand no delay for U.S. gun control,” said the news agency, Xinhua.

Right. China’s Communist Party cares about their blood and tears almost as much as Obama does.

Every time a tragedy occurs, there are renewed appeals for gun regulation. However, the calls disappointingly always fail.

Regulation of private gun ownership has been a sensitive issue in the U.S. for a long time. Americans own 280 million guns, with 34 percent of U.S. families possessing the deadly weapon. Gun lobbies, such as the National Rifle Association (NRA), are very influencial.

Many people can’t help but turn to the dim hope once again: the gunman’s cruelty and evil may provide a strong momentum and broader public support for the restart of gun control efforts. Moreover, with no re-election pressure, President Obama is currently in the best position to promote it.

Obama said of the latest tragedy the country had “been through this too many times,” and it was time to put aside political differences and “take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this.”

Some people have noticed Obama’s tougher tone this time, compared to the Colorado shooting, when he called for “prayer and reflection.”

Action speaks louder than words. If Obama wants to take practical measures to control guns, he has to make preparation for a protracted war and considerable political cost.

There you go Barry. You’ve gotten your marching orders from your Chinese Bankers for your Long March through the Bill of Rights.
