"Gun-rights advocates assailed the United Nations Feb. 21 after it was revealed that security officers for Secretary-General Kofi Annan may be illegally carrying automatic weapons. Annan and other UN officials have called for worldwide gun control. “It’s the height of hypocrisy,” said John Velleco of Gun Owners of America. “The UN wants to regulate small arms worldwide, but apparently that doesn’t apply to them.” The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is investigating Annan’s guards for carrying German-made MP5 machine guns."

“The UN wants to regulate small arms worldwide, but apparently that doesn’t apply to them.”

No, they don't. There's your mistake. They don't want to regulate guns in Rwanda, or Sierra Leone, or mountain Pakistan. Too difficult. They just want to regulate guns in the fat, rich, stupid, tax-paying USA.

Low hanging fruit. Its a bit like the old joke about the guy looking for his lost keys under the street light. When asked where he lost them, he replied, "in the alley, but I'm looking here because that's where there's light."
