A World Drowning in Guns (written by Obama's nominee, Harold Koh)

Fordham Law Review ^ | May 2003 | Harold Hongju Koh

I come to New York to talk about a familiar subject: gun control. But let me warn you: this may be a different kind of gun control lecture than you have heard before. It will not be about gun control in the streets of Manhattan or Columbine, or the Brady Bill, or gun registration, or even the Second Amendment, at least not until the lecture's end....

[guns are evil blah blah blah]

What should we do about it? We have knowledge, we have networks, we have an emerging horizontal process to generate norms. We now need those emerging norms to create an international framework, and then to internalize those norms into our domestic law, while at the same time applying supply-side solutions, and harmonizing our national approach with those of other countries....

The world is drowning in subjects who think they are citizens. The world is drowning in people who think they have the right to self-defense.

And its drowning in people who don’t know they need to be ruled by their betters, who should be the only ones allowed to carry weapons.

As President Hussien's nominee as Legal Adviser of the Department of State, you can bet your last nickel that Harold Koh will be happily kissing the ass of the U.N. and every bloody, freedom-hating tyrant that inhabits that totalitarian organization.

"But Obama won't take away your guns." No, he's happy to let the anti-American "international community" attempt that with their statist treaties.

Neda Soltan is unavailable to comment on what happens when governments have a monopoly on guns.

“...norms” ?

[popdonnelly]

Given the evil predelictions of some people, owning a gun isn’t a bad idea.

[4Speed]

“harmonizing our National Approach” ? WTF ....is this guy reading Obama’s TOTUS ?

Read the 2nd Amendment, DUFUS !

What a mis-leading headline!

Guns remain in solid form at temperatures up to and above 450 degrees F. Even if one WERE lowered into a pool full of liquid guns, one would die from the burning of one’s flesh or the scorching of one’s lungs LONG before one actually drowned in the guns.

Obama doesn't want to nationalize healthcare.
He doesn't want to run GM.
...run up a huge deficit.
...print money and cause inflation.
...fire his IG's until he gets a corrupt one.
...involve America in foreign entanglement
...etc., etc.

And sure, he doesn't want to disarm us.

I think after watching those protestors in Tehran, we know just what kind of future Obama and his minions have in mind for us. I believe they will try ANYTHING to take our guns away.

[Niteranger68]

We own guns specifically because of elitists like Harold Koh.
