Experts Say Curbing Gun Violence Takes Int'l Action (From The UN ITSELF)

I know the consequences and the line of thought.

However, the fact remains that it is damn near IMPOSSIBLE to convince the average USA-dweller that the Gummint (at any level) is going to pull off a massive gun-grab FOR THE PURPOSES of maintaining control.

Look at the pictures of GWBush. Would HE do that?

I have to concede that you're probably correct. If you haven't already, check out post #39 from Sender. That scenario is quite possible, considering the average USA-dweller, very possible. Trying to convince libs that guns don't increase crime is like talking to a wall. They won't be swayed by cold, hard facts so it's impossible to turn them around.

But there are a few, just a few, who will not be fooled. Maybe that'll be enough.

Kofi Annan Probed Over Machine Gun-Toting Bodyguards

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is investigating United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan over reports that his bodyguards carry illegal submachine guns to protect the number one diplomat.

"Sources in the U.N. Security and Safety Service say that members of Annan's personal protective detail have been using the German-made MP5 submachine guns since 1998," reports the National Rifle Association's "America's 1st Freedom" magazine.

While U.N. officials say the extraordinarily lethal firearms have been cleared with U.S. law enforcement, a spokesman for the BATF's parent agency, the Treasury Department, told the Washington Times earlier this year that Annan's machine gunners have been under investigation since February.

The State Department also has a problem with the illegal Annan arsenal, with a spokesman telling the Times that the U.N. is not a law enforcement agency and therefore its employees are prohibited from packing such high-powered heat.

The U.N. first approached the State Department four years ago hoping to get clearance for the plan to arm Annan's security detail to the teeth - but they were turned down.

But that didn't stop Kofi and Co., who reportedly went ahead and acquired the illegal assault weapons anyway.

"Just how Annan's security detail obtained the guns is the focus of the U.S. government probe," the NRA said.

New York City, where Annan is based, supposedly has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country.

AhHA! The MP5 pictured is the NAVAL version since that was the one with the safety on the left side....I think. At least the barrel is pointing in EXACTLY the correct direction.

Sad to say--it will take a the martyrdom of a few "good men," known to be good and true, and killed for it, before the reality begins to dawn.

But get the hell out of the way when it DOES dawn. We will need all the retired officer corps we can get to organize the resistance...

Remind why Republican Congressmen voted 2 to 1 to remain in the United Nations?

Remind why Republican Congressmen voted 2 to 1 to remain in the United Nations?

Because with the US Constitution, which most of them aparently abandoned, God gives man freedom, man grants government power.

The UN charter model is government grants man rights.

Or UNgrants them.

Thuclydies I think wrote at length about 300 spartans.

They even made a movie.

Upon being told that the persians arrows would block the son:

"Good, then we will fight in the shade!"

[donmeaker]

300 spartans is the movie.

That's a big theme in my book, former SFer's who believe in "D.O.L" and defending the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
