"Gun control led to the deaths of millions during the 20th century."

Yes, but that is of no importance to the gun-grabbers. Though it is the almost inevitable result of complete victim disarmament, it is glossed over as being no big deal. What IS important is that NO ONE, outside of governments everywhere and the UN forces have access to firearms. The UN obviously wants ITS troops to not be hingered in their quest for kinky and perverted sex in exchange for food and/or other favors. And an angry, ARMED father would tend to upset the poor Peacekeeper no end and put a damper on his fun with the ten year old daughter or son. OBVIOUSLY this cannot be allowed to happen. GET RID OF THOSE PESKY GUNS!

"This was total meltdown"

It's always nice to start the week with some good news. $:-)

"And if you're a government bureaucrat it's all that really matters ...

that's right! no product, just a lot of busy-body talk...

This is OK news.

Real good new would have been that all of the delegates contracted lasa fever from one of the backward African delegates and died contaminating the UN building and causing the entire thing to be quarantined forever, because as long as they and the criminals they represent live they will continue to be a threat to our freedom.

Sounds like a typical day at the UN. All these circle jerks really care about is what is being catered into the meeting.

The U.S. opposed a further UN review meeting. And it is unlikely to support Canada's proposal for a parallel conference in Geneva.

Thank you John Bolton and President Bush!

>>Who is she kidding? Gun control led to the deaths of millions during the 20th century.

That always deserves this link, for academic backup:

others said that many countries objected to clauses that would restrict their ability to buy or sell small arms.

Therein lies the truth. It's hard to oppress your people if its hard to by guns.

I really like the way a n AR-15 handles. I can get rounds on target faster than an AK47, M1 carbine or an M-1 Garand. Now, if I'm not in a hurry, the Remington 700 in 30-06 is just fine.

For home protection, a Mossburg pump or a M-1911 will do the trick.

It is my belief that MOST diplomts wouldn't know a hard day's work if it bit 'em in the butt. Perhaps I can also be disabused of my belief that all of these UN "meetings" are excuses for a shtupfest and opening many bottles of champagne.

Amen brother!

I'll bet the lying bastards at the Brady Center (aka Handgun Control) and the Violence Policy Center are wailing and gnashing their teeth.

From what I have seen over the years, the prime qualification, for employment at the Brady Center or the Violence Policy Center, is being a damned liar.

Ammoman still has plenty in stock at about $179.00 per thousand.

Thanks for starting my day off with a good laugh!

The conference was held behind closed doors

The hallmark of tyrants. One needs no further information to understand the evil of these people.

[philman_36]

...puzzling over why the meeting went so wrong.
These people don't even seem to recognize the innate wrongness of their desires.
Their subconscious seems to though.

[Teacher317]

Perhaps its that the UN doesn't have the right to impose its ideas on sovereign nations?

Let's be careful, here. Our beloved Constitution says that any treaty made under US authority is the supreme law of the land.

Article VI, Sec 2: "This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."

That last part is a the most troubling. You know that future Leftists will use this to say that International Law binds US law, no matter what the Constitution says.

Thanks for the link. My wife will be tickled to see the 5.7x28. It's hard to find in stock. She spends way too much time chasing brass to preserve the limited supply.
