At the beginning of the press conference, Kerr claimed Americans have no right to dispute China’s human rights record because China does not weigh in on social or political issues in the United States.

“But people in China didn’t ask me about, you know, people owning AR-15s and mowing each other down in a mall,” Kerr said.

Kerr insinuated that owning an AR-15 inevitably leads people to commit mass shootings. Owning a firearm, such as an AR-15, is a indisputable right laid out in the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

Secondly, to insinuate that owning an AR-15 leads to mass shootings is flat out wrong. According to CNBC, in 2016, 5 million Americans owned an AR-15. That number is exclusive to the AR-15 style rifle, therefore excluding any similar style rifle to this number. Yet, according to Pew Research, only 4 percent of gun-related deaths are committed by someone with an “assault-style” rifle. That means 1,591 of the 39,773 people who were killed by gun violence in the U.S. in 2019 were harmed by a weapon similar to an AR-15.

5 million citizens own them. if they inevitably led to mass shooting. Mr. Kerr would know it.
Fortunately he is wrong and should have stuck to discussing how supporting Hong Kong citizens is hurting his business, instead of venturing into a field he knows absolutely nothing about.
