The agreement would also: • Establish more effective controls on the importing and exporting of weapons. • Strengthen controls over international brokers. • Provide for more effective stockpile management of weapons under state control. • Provide for the destruction of government-declared surplus and illicit weapons.

"USA to UN: STFU"

[Gefreiter]

"The United States will oppose any international effort to limit access of U.S. civilians to legal firearms but supports stronger controls on arms imports and exports"

Ummm...ok, but what about legal firearms manufactured by companies headquartered outside the US? Glock, SiG, FN, CZ, etc?

No respect for the U.N. Don't want them observing our elections. Don't want them in our country. Don't want our taxes spent on them.

What is the impact of several American gun manufacturers moving their facilities to other countries? Will there be a restriction on their ability now to import those guns back into the United States? I don't know manyd etails, but I had heard taht many manufacturers were being regulated out of the country.

The international conference has triggered anger among many American gun owners, who have responded to a National Rifle Association campaign suggesting that the United Nations is trying to take their weapons away. Tens of thousands of letters have poured in to the United Nations from NRA members, prompting reassurances from Secretary-General Kofi Annan and Prasad Kariyawasam, the president of the review conference.

We don't need 'reassurances' from dimwit globalist puppets. Their lips are moving, therefore they are lying. Our own traitor politicos better watch their P's and Q's however. Any buy-in to international agreements that tread on our sovereign rights may result in the Tree of Liberty getting a good watering.

Mr. Joseph stressed that Washington seeks a "positive" engagement with other governments and supports the implementation of a recent agreement to mark weapons and create a registry to trace their whereabouts.

There's the money-shot. And as any student of 20th century history can attest, registration is ALWAYS followed by confiscation.

The United States will oppose any international effort to limit access of U.S. civilians to legal firearms

Yeah, we're doing enough of that ourselves. We don't need any outside help. Thanks just the same, U.N.

How bout a Perazzi?

It's so predictable. The United Nation's Gun Grabbing conference will find that the United States is the great evil where guns are concerned. Ugh! How much longer will we put up with the diapered diplomats who hate America.

[OldArmy52]

If the U.N. was sincere, it'd ban any and all possession/use of firearms on U.N. property.

All U.N. premises security personnel carry pepper spray only.
