From the link:

The UN official pamphlet makes it plain that nations need to “[i]mplement laws to protect children . . .from having access to small arms.” Moreover, the UN says that states should “[c]ollect and destroy small arms … through community programmes in which civil society plays a key role.”

The spread of small arms creates a serious global problem and requires an equally urgent response because the lives and futures of children are at stake.

PATENT BULL$HIT!!

The vast majority of Americans, regardless of their opinions on the increasing scope of international law, agree with the proposition that children should not be used as soldiers.

I don't agree at all, especially since the UN seems to define "child soldiers" as anyone 25 or younger.

If Obama and Congress signed anything like this into law by the treaty provision, they would be igniting CW2.

I hope they are smart enough to know it.

Blue helmets look best when viewed with an overlay of cross hairs. Adding a touch of red makes for a festive look.

How many children have died over the last 100 years due to a lack of firearms sufficient to protect them?

When and where I grew up, guns in the house were the norm, not the exception. A gun, usually a .22 rifle, by the back door, gun racks in bedrooms, in a den or study and a very common sight in pickup back windows. No big deal. If guns were such a danger, it is a miracle we were able to survive childhood.

The Second Amendment has never been so threatened or so necessary.

Disarm people!

It’s for the childruns.

Your Global Nanny speaks.

I, personally, would disarm but all my weapons fell out of the boat while I was shark hunting. Uhh, and I gave them all away to the homeless. Right, that’s the ticket . .

“These weapons have extinguished more young lives than they have protected.”

Quite simply untrue; moreover, the author clearly intends the deaths of gang-bangers to be included in the tally of young lives, which is deceitful, at best.
