Tehran Times: US Needs Gun Control

If ever there was an argument for why the United States should never adopt any form of gun control, it comes from Tehran Times: Iran’s Leading International Daily. In an editorial titled, “Gun control in Congress: Lawmakers must shed their fear of the NRA” the editors write:

“Bills to ban high-capacity gun ammunition clips and close the ‘gun show loophole’ have been introduced in Congress. The Tucson shootings demand a courageous effort by lawmakers to pass this legislation.”

Now in fairness, it seems that this editorial actually cites The Christian Science Monitor, a paper that is notoriously anti-gun. But if Iran’s largest international daily thinks gun control is good then isn’t that enough of a case against gun control?
