In their report, the Chinese alleged, \u201cThe United States prioritizes the right to keep and bear arms over the protection of citizens\u2019 lives and personal security and exercises lax firearm possession control, causing rampant gun ownership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An outraged CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb noted, \u201cIt\u2019s appalling that the Chinese complain that our constitution and Bill of Rights allows wide civil liberties latitude, including the right to keep and bear arms.\u201d He accused the Chinese of engaging in world class hypocrisy by complaining about poor human rights in another country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Chinese have hardly set a sterling example for protecting and advancing human rights,\u201d he observed. \u201cPerhaps what offends them most is that our Second Amendment was authored to prevent this country from going down the same road toward totalitarianism that rulers in the People\u2019s Republic have embraced. We are not like China, and we will never be like China so long as American citizens retain their right to keep and bear arms, and they know it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese also criticized this country\u2019s crime rates, to which Gottlieb responded that in the United States, citizens accused of crimes have the right to a fair trial, legal counsel and judgment by a jury of their peers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t imprison political dissidents simply for speaking their minds,\u201d Gottlieb noted. \u201cWe consider people to be innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, not the other way around. We afford an array of legal rights to people accused of crimes. Of course we don\u2019t have a perfect system or a perfect country, but it\u2019s better than all the rest. When was the last time we saw an American asking the Chinese embassy for political asylum?\u201d<\/i> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I mentioned the Red Chinese criticizing the US for human rights violation the other day.
