UN: Access to guns explains killings in protests
The murder attributed to Rittenhouse is the consequence of the absence of controls for the possession of weaponsa United Nations spokesman said today.
“We see it as another unfortunate example of the lack or, in any case, the insufficiency of arms control measures in the United States”The spokesman for the UN Human Rights Office told the press, Rupert Colville.
He recalled that the UN Human Rights Office, headed by the High Commissioner Michelle Bachelet, has made several calls for the prohibition of assault rifles and the acquisition, possession and use of firearms by civilians.
“It is inconceivable that there is a 17-year-old boy running with an automatic rifle in a position to shoot others and in such a tense situation”added.
“Events like this are not only recurring, but can be perfectly prevented,” Colville said.
