We’re so old we thought Amnesty International was all about letter-writing campaigns in support of political prisoners, but it turns out they issue travel advisories too, and the organization is warning travelers to “be wary of the ubiquity of firearms among the population” and “avoid places where large numbers of people gather.”
Oh, and you might be at even greater risk depending upon your race and sexual orientation and you should plan accordingly.
Amnesty International today issued a travel warning calling for travelers and visitors to the United States to exercise extreme caution due to rampant gun violence, which has become so prevalent in the US that it amounts to a human rights crisis. https://t.co/bsVsiBOO5K pic.twitter.com/CVWEyVzR3c

You know what we should do — we should build a giant border wall across the entire southern border of the United States and post this sign every 40 yards to warn illegal immigrants what they’re getting into — besides concentration camps.
Ernest Coverson, campaign manager for the End Gun Violence Campaign at Amnesty International USA, said:
“Travelers to the United States should remain cautious that the country does not adequately protect people’s right to be safe, regardless of who they might be."

"People in the United States cannot reasonably expect to be free from harm – a guarantee of not being shot is impossible. Once again, it is chillingly clear that the U.S. government is unwilling to ensure protection against gun violence." https://t.co/0XhFMRhQNr

So you're telling travelers to stay out of majority-minority cities, right?
— Nightm@nPartDeux (@deux_part) August 7, 2019
Funny, they warn about schools, churches, and shopping malls but don’t give any guidance on which cities to avoid.

This isn't about danger or gun deaths. This is politics.
— Sanguine Sam (@DangerousDialog) August 7, 2019
Good, tell everyone to stay out.

Thank you.
Now maybe some of the illegals will stay home.
— Terrie (@Texas56) August 7, 2019
Thanks for pushing the law enforcement narrative used to justify police violence and promote the carceral state despite historically low amounts of violent crime in order to score a point, assholes.

I'm glad I stopped my monthly donations to you clowns.
This is ridiculous.
Also, why did I never see something like this when London surpassed NYC in knife violence?— Señia (@ayasgirl) August 7, 2019
Gun violence is actually at an all time low in the United States. Now suicides, gang violence (in urban areas) and mass shootings are up but overall gun violence and gun deaths are down by a large percentage.
— commonsense (@commonsense258) August 7, 2019
Make sure you post it where asylum seekers can see it. Good grief. What a ridiculous stunt.
— Maribeth Price (@mbprice5) August 7, 2019
Your warning is a complete crock of leftist propaganda. Reported crimes with guns are DOWN in he U.S. and you damned well know it. You’re now exposed as a cabal of left-wing hacks.
— Neal Boortz (@Talkmaster) August 7, 2019
Hopefully Mexico is included in your travel ban, since their cartel related shootings, kidnappings and deaths are worse than the US.

And still our borders are overrun by illegal trespassers who claim they’re escaping “violence” in their own countries and then illegally obtain residences next door to drug lords they claim they were escaping in their own countries. No one can escape random rampant violent acts.

Let's build a wall to quarantine the United States!

This is necessary. Left my car unlocked last night and when I came out this morning a war between white supremacists and MS-13 had broken out. Dangerous place, that US.
