“Human rights are, by definition, those fundamental freedoms inherent to every person in the world. They include the freedom to move about freely, to obtain an education, to worship as one chooses and to generally participate in society without fear. When people are prevented from following these pursuits on a wide scale, and the government does nothing to stop it, that constitutes a human rights crisis.” – Amnesty International USA Executive Director Margaret Huang, Gun violence is not a political issue. It’s a human rights crisis impinging on Americans’ freedoms. [via nbcnews.com]
