Especially see below where it says: "may need to be regulated"
The IPU has permanent observer status at the United Nations:
THE ROLE OF PARLIAMENTS IN STRENGTHENING CONTROL OF TRAFFICKING IN SMALL ARMS AND LIGHT WEAPONS AND THEIR AMMUNITION
Resolution adopted by consensus* by the 114th Assembly (Nairobi, 12 May 2006)
The 114th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union,
Deeply concerned by the tremendous human suffering, especially for women and children, who are the most vulnerable in armed conflicts, associated with the proliferation and misuse of small arms and light weapons (SALW),
Stressing that, by definition, SALW include all arms that can be used by one person alone and all associated ammunition, including grenades, rockets, missiles, mortar shells and man-portable air defence systems (MANPADS), and that landmines can be considered as having similar effects,
Recalling that items such as daggers, machetes, clubs, spears, and bows and arrows are also frequently used in armed conflicts and criminal acts, and that, although they do not fall under the SALW category, their use may need to be regulated,
Forks?
Sporks?
Bic Pens?
I truly am surprised the bic pen is not on the list. We inflicted serious damage with them when in junior high school
In the IPU paper they had serious heartburn figuring out whether to classify knives that are part of ceremonial dress as small arms under the UN SALW definition.
That makes bic pens and forks...not to mention slingshots...a serious concern.
Get rid of the U.N, in THIS country and leave us the hell alone. Have you seen any major rebellions here due to private firearm ownership? I didn't think so.
Get the U.N, the hell out of our business and our country.
If the UN treaty goes through, I am perfectly willing to join any self-regulated army that will go to war with the United Nations.
I can't march very far, but I can shoot straight and I have communications and hacking skills to offer.
From my cold, dead fingers, Engineer.
Whatever else you think of insurgents in Iraq and Afghan, we have to admit they have wrought hell with small arms and ingenuity.
If I were bent on world, socialist conquest, I’d want to get rid of small arms, too.
If every capable American had at least one firearm, there is no tyrant who’d be safe and no army that wouldn’t have to pause at some point or let their guard down in some way.
One at a time.
If we ever get a conservative president, a conservative senate, and a conservative House, I’m going to shout long and loud for one of their initial acts being, getting us out of the UN.
Exactamundo. Was it Admiral Yakimura (Empire of Japan) who said, "a rifle behind every blade of grass"?
and I'll bring my own gear.
MOLON LABE!
“Get the U.N, the hell out of our business and our country.”
Ain’t gonna happen. The folks that really run this country like the UN just fine, why, one of them donated the land the UN sits on.
Why didn’t we think of it before! The UN could ban trafficking in humans generally, young women exploited as sex slaves, drugs, endangered species parts, etc., and these evils will magically end. (U)tter (N)onsense.
It won’t be Blue Hats, but US police and military.
And it will be drones, at first.
They are also almost childishly easy to make from scratch using the most basic of machine tools. What are they gonna do....outlaw every lathe and mill in the world? Good luck with your world economy if you do that! Ooooh! Oooh! I know....how about killing or imprisoning everyone who has the knowledge of how to make guns using machine tools? Dang!....there goes that world economy again.
These people aren't just asshats. They're STUPID asshats.
Just get it over with. Ban all ‘humans’. I guess in a way, they are.
Without self-respect, freedom, one tends to die quicker.
You really think that the Police would start something they couldn’t finish? And would the military really start killing Americans on American soil? I hope I would be wrong to say no. But in this time and day who freaking really knows.
The make up of those soldiers might make a difference.
Something to consider...would a brigade or two of heavily armed "rainbow" warriors looking for payback for their perceived slights make you think twice about what "American" soldiers might or might not do?
Yes I do. 100%.
They will follow orders. That is what they are trained to do. Some will resist, but enough pressure will be brought on them they will follow in the end.
I know cops, personally and in my family, who said they will come to my house and take my guns if ordered to. Why? Because it is their job, and if I don’t like it vote for someone else.
To think otherwise is to be ignorant.
They are welcome to all my arms and ammo, ammo first.
