That's right!The Enviro-Wackos should make firearms more available to the peoples of the world so that they can more quickly kill each other off and rid Mother Earth of the infestation of mankind!!!!!!!!!!

Ms Peters urged the United Nations to impose global regulations on arms distribution and set minimum guidelines for national rules on gun control.This is why we shouldn't let the UN become a world government.

I'd like the UN to quantify how many people are killed by tyrants, dictators, and despots every day.According to THE BLACK BOOK OF COMMUNISM, the total was in excess of 100 million over a period of about 70 years. That comes to over 3900 a day. Of course that doesn't include Saddam Hussein or any African tyrants.

I wonder how the UN would be able to enforce such a rule on a soverign nation ... unless a Kerry-like person was president ... but then, millions of guns would go underground ...

I was walking my dog the other day when a shotgun walked up to me and proceeded to load itself with two loads of 00 buck. Then the shotgun pointed itself at me and pulled the trigger. Fortunately I ducked just in time. The shotgun recoiled so badly that the shotgun ran up the street crying.
The UN is corrupt from the basement to the roof and needs to be moved to France where they can pull vacuum on each other.

Maybe if they put us all in padded cells in straight-jackets we would all be OK. No sharp objects, no guns.

Don't forget to outlaw physicians on the grounds of "accidental deaths". You know, those that "just shouldn't happen, at all". They kill far more people accidentally than firearms do.
Hmmm....Or perhaps its all the scalpels fault???...

The report said the problem was especially bad in developing countries, where easy access to guns, combined with widespread poverty, often created a lethal situation. "Damn, I'm poor. Oh, look -- a gun! I guess I'll go shoot somebody."
