That excludes the likes of Iraq, Syria, Iran, etc right? I mean take the guns away from the people but let the whack jobs keep the nukes right?

"NRA warns of U.N. gun control
U.S. participating in upcoming small-arms conference"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "An American delegation will participate in a controversial United Nations small-arms conference criticized by Second Amendment advocates as a threat to U.S. gun ownership.
The U.N. Small Arms Review Conference will meet in New York City June 26 to July 7 to discuss illegal trafficking in arms, "ineffective national controls" and related issues.
The U.N.'s disarmament effort features a program in which it buys back weapons in nations torn by civil strife. But National Rifle Association Vice President Wayne LaPierre insists the U.N. is concerned about more than illicit arms in African hot spots. He says the global body wants the firearms of American citizens and much more.
"So, after we are disarmed, the U.N. wants us demobilized and reintegrated," says the NRA's executive vice president, Wayne LaPierre, according to the Economist magazine. "I can hear it now: 'Step right this way for your reprogramming, sir. Once we confiscate your guns, we can demobilize your aggressive instincts and reintegrate you into civil society.' No thanks.""
I go on record as resisting this.
Why we must never give up our guns to this POS organization
The NRA should do a "recruit a buddy" campaign for this July 4th, see if it can swell its membership some.
Doesn't the U.N. have something else better to do with it's time?
They are about as useful as boobs on a bull!
Take the U.N. by eminent domian and convert it into condo's.
The DUMmies don't seem to realize that getting the NRA more involved only hurts their party. Bottom line is that the NRA is more popular than any democratic candidate we've had for the last two elections. Just watching Al Gore back away from gun control due to the union rank and file's distaste for his gun-control beliefs should teach them to stay away from this subject. Oh, yeah, I forget that DUMmies never learn.
The UN wants to make all private ownership and possession of firearms illegal. Therefore any sale or trade of firearms to or by any private party would be "illicit" and punishable by the UN. The US has to make it clear to the UN gun grabbers that we will not agree to or tolerate any such negation of our Constitutional rights by any outside organization.
This is just one more excellent reason why the US has no business being part of the UN. The socio-political philosophy and agenda of the vast majority of UN nations is diametrically opposed to that of the US. I want the US out of the UN and the UN and it's arrogant, corrupt, lawbreaking agents of 2-bit totalitarian regimes out of the US.
And I'm 'series'.
The "guns debate" is the Key to the continuing success of this nation. The minute the second amendment is repealed, the left wing of this country will go into action to turn America into a police state.
The UN must be thrown out of this country immediately.
I'll be more than happy to hand over my guns to the UN.....one bullet at a time!
We can send you a few bullets though.
Why don't you come to Texas and we'll "discuss" the matter? In fact, PLEASE come - we've got some messages to deliver to you, and we wish to do so promptly...preferably via airmail. As for your expectations in this regard, please ask the British delegation how their nation's "discussion" with us Americans went about 230 years ago.
Ping!
To all lurkers who love this great nation, but who will never sign up to FreeRepublic...thanks for reading this thread and thanks for being out there.
