At least with their village burned down they won't have time to worry about wanting to shoot each other. The thing that would really help them is a minimum wage.

Kool - that's funny.
About the article - gee, that's never happened before. Typical. And the UN response is also typical. It's like GM foods: we know what's good for you so much better than you do that we'll gladly sacrifice a large number of you to make our point.
Elitist assholes.

"Maim"

Utterly unsurprising.
When one side has a monopoly on force and a governmental mandate to use it, innocent people will die.
That they're being murdered under the banner of gun control is deeply ironic.

Why do the Karamojong hate Uganda?

So Uganda has the "well-regulated militia" down pat, but not the "right of the people to keep and bear arms" part.
Now do you understand the Second Amendment?

I'm a little confused about point they're making about the dangers of cattle rustling.
Maybe rustlers would be less likely to rustle if the rancher has the AK. And perhaps that same AK would make a gov't land grab less palatable. Just sayin'.

In Rwanda they managed to kill 900,000 people in just a few months. When no guns were available, machetes served nicely.
What Africa needs is machete registration and an organization to fight it the NMA. They can make Charleton Heston an honorary member
