The United Nations declared the week of May 10-16 to be the Global Week of Action against Gun Violence.
According to the UN, guns destroy personal freedom:
Governments have a responsibility to ensure public safety, and a vested interest in providing human security and an environment conducive to development to their citizens. However, the excessive accumulation and universal availability of small arms negatively impact on security, human rights and social and economic development in many parts of the world.
The UN seeks a comprehensive, legally binding instrument establishing common international standards for the import, export and transfer of conventional arms.....

Sorry U.N. Your “laws” do not apply to this country...
What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?

Well, they’re the boss. Whatever they say, goes.
” the excessive accumulation and universal availability of small arms negatively impact on security, human rights and social and economic development in many parts of the world”
Translated this means that if the peons have the power to defend themselves we can’t continue to exploit, jail, torture or kill whenever it suits us. The UN represents governments - not citizens - and will always advance the interests of government apparatchiks ahead of the people they “lead”.
They know that all of their other totalitarian fantasies (ie, the earthly utopia where all humans can “self actualize” under the benevolent leadership of the intelligentsia)
will be thwarted by a few resistors with the means to defend themselves.
LOL...well good luck w/ that UN. Despite your treasonous progressive cheerleaders in this country you’ll NEVER EVER disarm the people of this country. When all else fails us ‘bitter clingers’ will just refuse. Then what will you do? Will you use force on us? Oh my, what a rock and hard place you’ve made for yourself.
Isn’t it weird, but the Socialist/Fascists like Stalin and Hitler loves disarmanment of the citizenry in favor of Government control of weapons...just like the UN.
So, the UN has all the guns and weapons and you are powerless.
The good news is that the UN is “looking out” for us.
Meanwhile, in Africa and the Middle East, well-armed militias are the rule rather than the exception. I suppose it’s easier to enforce a feel-good rule aiming at enslaving the productive than to go where the real action is.
"Uhh, say again... you're redeploying us WHERE?!!"
It’s time for America to put the UN to good use. We need to vacate the building and open it for shelter for the homeless. The UN’s time has come and gone.
It’s not a right I leave up to the government to tell me I can or can’t have.
Remember Rawanda.
I understand “keeping your enemies closer”, but why do we allow his front for worldwide communism exist in our great country?
FUN
“F” the UN.

I’ve owned guns since my ninth birthday, I’ll be 80 later this year.
I’ve never owned a violent gun.
What is wrong with these cretinous elitists who want to rule the world?
They will fail!
Be Ever Vigilant!
