Now, this is a great argument AGAINST gun control. In a series of tweets issued Sunday, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Supremes, er…the Supreme Leader of Iran and buddy of former President Barack Obama, advocated for gun control in the United States.
In US, 100s are killed every week by homicide for no crime,—no reason—not at the hands of police, as US police brutality is a separate issue. The accessibility of guns leads to homicide; it’s created problems for a country like US, everyone admits, fears, & is concerned about it.

His answer: Make guns illegal.
“No one dares apply the clear solution to the promotion of guns and homicide in America. What’s the solution? It’s to make guns illegal,” he tweeted.
Or we can do what the supreme leader does in his own country, just cut people’s hands off.

He wasn’t finished echoing typical liberal talking points (which he probably learned while negotiating with his good buddy Barack:
Gun companies are so powerful that House representatives and U.S. senators don’t dare pass prohibition of guns, and U.S. president doesn’t dare speak out, rise against it. This is corruption.

Not only is his statement false, but ironically in Iran, no one dare speak about the Supreme Leader in less than glowing terms.
The leader of the Supremes, Supreme leader
Corruption means domination of a mafia greedy for power & wealth, in a way that the big political & military system like U.S. won’t dare stand up for prohibition of guns—which is clearly positive. This is due to lack of spiritual ideals, leading western societies to this point.

“Now, why or why would Khamenei want Americans disarmed? Surely he’s just worried about our safety and well-being, right?” Twitchy asked sarcastically.
Ben Shapiro weighed in: “Let’s listen to the evil dictator who likes grabbing guns.”

Twitchy went on to say that leftists will probably cheer Khamenei “because he agrees with disarming and making us defenseless.”
Sadly, that’s probably quite true.
Kind of looks like a copy and paste from any democrat fund raising letter

Exit question: How long before Barack Obama is invited to meet with Iran’s Supreme Leader? After all, they agree about gun control in America AND they agree about destroying Israel.
