US Gun Culture Corrupting the World [View all]

The U.S. has chosen the pathway of illogical policy with regard to guns," Australia’s former deputy prime minister Tim Fischer said Friday. "They cannot expect not to have any criticism of it worldwide.”

“I am angry because it is corrupting the world, this gun culture of the United States
.”

Fischer said the lack of gun control in the U.S. had led to a massacre “each and every year since 1996” - in contrast to Australia, which has restrictions on firearms ownership.

He said the majority of illegally obtained guns used in crimes in Australia and Mexico had come from the U.S.

Americans can thank the NRA for this obscene proliferation of guns, and for the gun culture that pays the NRA to corrupt politicians at all levels of our government. The NRA is nothing more than a terrorist organization and should be viewed as such.

Not only sane and concerned American citizens, but the world community is calling for sensible gun control in the United States.
