The Law May Be Good, but Your Life Is Not Guaranteed

The U.S. is capable of crushing any armed force in the world, but it cannot handle a weapon in the hands of a citizen.

The government finds it difficult to do anything within the nation due to the constraints of the law, yet runs rampant on the international stage, and no one can do a thing about it.

In the U.S., everyone has a gun, making it a very dangerous place. Yet everyone is convinced that you are only safe with a gun in your hands.

This time a single gun killed 50 people, its effect is even more astonishing than a well-planned terrorist attack.

Arms dealers argue that “guns don’t kill people; people do.”

According to this logic, it is not necessary to bring guns to the battlefield as guns don’t kill people, just let the army kill the enemy with their bare hands.

U.S. police are the most violent, but they must be jittery when they are on patrol duty, especially in shady areas, where you have to be faster than the bad guy at all times. Chinese police officer Peter Liang may have been too fast with a gun and killed someone by accident.

Americans are liable to lose their lives at any moment; would this be considered a severe breach of human rights?

Nearly 10,000 people die each year due to guns. Which dictator kills as many yearly?


美国可以粉碎世界上任何武装,就搞不定国内人民手中一把枪。

在国内有法律制约,政府举步维艰,在国际上却横行霸道, 谁也奈何不得。

美国人人有枪,变成很危险的地方,但仍然人人相信,手中有枪才安全。

这次一把枪就杀了50人,比恐怖分子精心策划的袭击,效果更惊人。

军火商诡辩:枪不会杀人,人才会杀人。

照这个逻辑,上战场是不必带枪的,因为枪不会杀人,就让军队空手杀敌好了。

美国警察最暴力,但他们出更时,心里必然神经兮兮,尤其是进到恶人谷,随时要跟恶人比枪快,那位华人警官梁彼得可能是枪太快了,无意中杀了人。

美国人随时会丢命,这算不算人权受到糟蹋?

每年近万人死于枪下,有哪一个独裁者年年杀这么多人?
