Thank God for that.

BTW, I don't see anyone cracking on Finland for their relatively high precentage of gunowners.

[1Old Pro]

This is good news. But we can do better!

[KantianBurke]

It said 80 per cent of the estimated 84 million firearms in Europe are in civilian hands, with Finland leading with 39 guns for every 100 citizens, followed by Norway with 36 guns, Sweden with 24 guns and Denmark with 18 guns.

Someone please explain this. Convient too that they left out UNREGISTERED guns. The #'s would be alot closer if they included the armories of the criminal element.

implementation of the 2-year-old U.N. agreement to ban the illegal trade of small and light weapons

So, they want to ban something that is already banned?

[smith288]

Im guessing that is a very intimidating fact for governments like Cuba and Canada from invading..hahaha

[jospehm20]

I wonder what happened to Switzerland. They did an AFN special on the gun business in Switzerlan while I was stationed in Germany. They said that the Swiss are the most heavily armed people in Europe. Every guy is drafted into the Army and than has to keep his service rifle at home for the rest of their life. It is also very easy for a citizen in good standing to buy a gun there.

And if diehard liberal like Stephen Spielberg would pass out their guns, we would more than double our superiority.

Progress has been ''particularly slow'' in countries in North Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia, it said.

Why didn't the report mention that progress has been particularly slow in the United States? Has our Government signed up with the UN to disarm the people of the United States? Our politicians seem to sign up for whatever the UN wants. I would have to assume that Schumer and Feinstein have signed our country up, but are trying to keep it a secret.

the 2-year-old U.N. agreement to ban the illegal trade of small and light weapons.

Might as well try to ban the wind.

Such weapons are easily manufactured- there are villages in Pakistan that can create a well-made duplicate of almost any weapon you bring them, without the use of modern machine tools.

There are an estimated 600 million such weapons around the world, both legally and illegally owned.

Illegally according to whom?

What they especially don't want to own up to is the fact that virtually all of these deaths they're talking about are caused by governments and those acting as agents of governments, and not by plain old civilians.
