Help make genocide safe for the governments of the world. Support international gun control.

They’ve gathered in New York City, the best and brightest minds in the global gun ban movement. Oh, they don’t want you to think for a second that they’re actually interested in your guns. Kofi Annan as much as said so yesterday, when he told the attendees of the Small Arms Review Conference, “This Review Conference is not negotiating a ‘global gun ban’, nor do we wish to deny law-abiding citizens their right to bear arms in accordance with their national laws.” Got it, gun owners? There’s nothing to fear from the UN when it comes to your guns.
It’s too bad for Kofi that many of the countries attending the summit didn’t get his memo. Yesterday’s speeches were full of calls for expanding the current agenda to include the civilian possession of firearms. Hans Winkler, speaking on behalf of the European Union, called the current Program of Action “the key starting point for further action on small arms”. The ambassador from Australia, Robert Hill, spoke glowingly of his country’s gun laws that “require the registration and licensing of all firearms owners, prohibit a range of automatic and semi-automatic long arms and handguns, and mandate minimum firearms safety training and storage requirements.”
The statement from Indonesia’s representative was perhaps the clearest example of what these countries are aiming for.
“We believe that no armed group outside of the State should be allowed to bear weapons. We also believe that regulating civilian possession of Small Arms/Light Weapons will enhance our efforts to prevent its misuse. In our view, the issue of ammunition should also be addressed in the context of the Program of Action because in the absence of ammunition, small arms and light weapons pose no danger.”
Not every country is as transparent as Indonesia. When looking at the statements of the various representatives, what isn’t said is just as important as the words we actually hear. Take, for example, the comments by Brazilian representative Ronaldo Mota Sardenberg. He told the summit, “this Review Conference should not limit ourselves to renewing our commitment to the full implementation of the Program of Action. It should rather be taken as an opportunity to address the Program’s shortcomings, by means of the adoption of substantive aimed at strengthening and complementing its mechanisms.” In other words, what we’ve got right now doesn’t go far enough. This comes from a country tried to ban civilian ownership of firearms outright (the referendum failed last fall).
The anti-gun summit continues for the next two weeks, and you can get daily updates from http://www.NRAnews.com Executive Editor Ginny Simone every afternoon on “Cam and Company”, heard on the aforementioned NRAnews.com and Sirius Satellite Radio. Coming up on Tuesday, the United States issues its opening statement.

Guns suck, we hate them. The US should give us more money.
Day 2222 of UN Gun summit. See day 1 notes.
MOLON LABE, MF.
From my cold, dead hands.....
People it aint gonna happen. That would be choose sides- go sign.
That makes sense!!
Help make genocide safe for the governments of the world. Support international gun control.
"We believe that no armed group outside of the State should be allowed to bear weapons. "
That include the U.N. " Peacekeepers " ?
"We wish to change national laws such that law-abiding citizens can no longer bear arms in accordance with their national laws."
Did they kick it off with a 21-gun salute?
"Our view of an ideal situation was Saddam Hussein's Iraq."
Another excellent reason to keep Rudy in NOOYAWK!
Get the UN OUT of the US now!
They are discussing overriding our constitution.
We may not be able to stop what they discuss but we don't have to be host country to them.
Correction: Guns suck in the hands of people outside the UN. We want to be clear on this. Kofi Anus
They're enjoying nice meals, too, courtesy (24 percent) of the US taxpayer.
A refreshing bit of honesty.
Ironic. I keep guns just because of the existence of the UN.
The average IQ of the group must be around what? 90?
"The average IQ of the group must be around what? 90?"
Maybe collectively.
bttt
It was only a year or so ago when Kofi's security squad was busted for having full-auto HK sub guns in NYC. The UN doesn't think it is subject to any laws.
That would make the average around 10 ... Can somebody with an IQ of 10 even drool coherently?
UN. Biggest waste of real estate in America.
That include the U.N. " Peacekeepers " ?
Eventually, the only State permitted to have weapons will be the UN with U.N. Peacekeepers distributed far and wide as a global police force--the total police mega-state.
Is it time, Claire?
"That would make the average around 10 ... Can somebody with an IQ of 10 even drool coherently?"
Well, they haven't proven to me that they can do even that.
I think they leave the coherent drooling to the MSM reporters.
“We believe that no armed group outside of the State should be allowed to bear weapons. We also believe that regulating civilian possession of Small Arms/Light Weapons will enhance our efforts to prevent its misuse. In our view, the issue of ammunition should also be addressed in the context of the Program of Action because in the absence of ammunition, small arms and light weapons pose no danger.”
You Indonesian turd...you son of a mugwump...you ignorant slimeball...YOU and the mincing minions of government functionaries, diplomats and bureaucrats are the danger...it is pieces of sh*t like you who killed approximately 70 MILLION civilians in the last century...after disarming them. Get out of my country--you don't deserve to breathe the same air as Americans.
No one, including the UN, will ever take my guns away from me.
Don't believe me?
Try me.
“We believe that no armed group outside of the State should be allowed to bear weapons. We also believe that regulating civilian possession of Small Arms/Light Weapons will enhance our efforts to prevent its misuse... "
... We also believe in using oiled rattan canes to flail the flesh from your back into hanging red ribbons of sopping bloody skin for the high crime of chewing gum in public.
Why? Because we're the filthy little country of Indonesia, that's why. We can't even pull our own dead citizens from the wreckage of a Tsunami without America's help. That's why we intend to dictate the changes we demand in your US Constitution.
When is the damned United States going to wake up and run this organization out of our country. They come here and use our country, our freedoms, our buildings, our money, our police to protect them, yet they can commit crimes and run back onto the UN compound and the police cannot touch them. These pukes need to be run off. Get the damned UN out of the USA!!!
I wonder if the Feds can deem the U.N. Building as blight and sell it to WalMart under Eminent Domain?
Shucks! I forgot that Bush just put a stop to that! (How convenient!)
Out of my cold dead hand.
The ultimate aim of the UN is to overthrow the US by denying us the ability to defend ourselves, internally or externally. If they succeeded tomorrow banning the production or sales of any guns or bullets, I suspect patriots like myself have already amassed enough to wage a protracted defense of liberty.
BLOAT!

A blue helmet makes a good target at the gun range.
It was a THING OF BEAUTY to see Tucker Carlson inteview Wayne La Pierre on this abortion of a meeting. It was the ultimate in two guys agreeing type of interview. Like Rather on Clinton. You *still* almost NEVER see that. Libs get to be libs and interview each other, but Conservatives usually don't host pure love fests. But Tucker did and it was great. He was suitably outraged over this meeting. He went up a GIANT STEP in my rankings as a result. A true 2nd Ammendment lover, obviously!
aT THE END OF THE GUN-GRAB CONFRANCE GUESS WHO WILL BE THE WORLD'S BIGGEST VIOLATOR AND GUESS WHICH COUNTRY WILL BE SINGLED OUT FOR DISARMED.
lOOK FOR THE USUAL SUSPECTS TO WHINE THAT THE u. s. SHOULD "SET AN EXAMPLE" FOR THE WORLD AND GIVE UP ITS GUNS TO THE U.n.
Ping.
'cept the U.N. is not a State ...
1. secure a spot in Geneva or Brussels
2. Build a big building
3. move the UN there
4. demolish the UN buildings here and spray for vermin
A common sense and historically proven way to keep those dangerous and destructive GUNS out of YOUR life. MEMBERSHIPS AVAILABLE NOW!
Details below.
Concerned about the easy availability of guns in our society?
Are you as alarmed as the United Nations and some within our own government about the "gun nuts" and other freedom wackos allowed to run loose?
Wish the government would just repeal the Second Amendment and confiscate all the guns because you believe sensible people shouldn't suffer because of some idiotic notion about some antiquated “right?”
While we can't take the guns away from the people, we CAN take the people (or at least SOME of them) away from their guns.
At CAMP GUNFREE, we have created an atmosphere of near-total tranquility where you and your family will experience the benefits of a GUN FREE environment.
