North Korea, where private gun ownership is unheard of, issued a stinging criticism of the US’s firearm policy.
The hermit state highlighted several instances of gun violence in recent months and said the situation was “getting worse”.
The critique was issued in the Pyongyang Times, a state-run newspaper based in the rogue state’s capital city.
The propaganda rag’s opinion piece was published earlier this week and titled “Deadly Shootings Commonplace in US”.
The article began by referencing last year’s Las Vegas attack, which saw 60 people killed and more than 500 injured.
It said such incidences, despite already having correctly described it as the “deadlines shooting ever” in the country, was “commonplace”.
The newspaper said the gun was the “kernel of American culture” despite a growing number of school shootings.
Somewhat oddly, despite mentioning gun crime in school in general, the article did not mention the recent Florida shooting, in which 17 people were killed at Stonemason Douglas High School.
This could be because of the civil movement it has sparked in the US, which has seen thousands of students match across the country: a dangerous image for the bloody Kim dynasty to present to their citizens.
In any case, the article said “gun crime has become a fashion among minors, with many of them wielding guns even at schools”.
This situation was kept in place due to lobbyists and the cowardice of US president Donald Trump, the piece said.
And they said the situation revealed the “true identity” of the US.
The article concluded: “With the situation getting worse, American people raise voices to demand a tighter gun control.
“However, munitions producers try to check the move while lobbying politicians.
“The US president, who is backed up by the National Rifle Association, also tries to shirk his responsibility, saying he would talk about it later.
“The rampant gun violence is fully revealing the true identity of the US as the number one human rights abuser in the world.”
