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 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.

Does this mean the BATF and HRT will surround the UN Compound (it is even called a compund) and brurn it to the ground. How about of we say pretty please to our government? The simple fact that they know Ol' Koffi's bodyguards are so armed in defiance of US law means they should alrteady have been raided and be cooling their heals behind bars and/or deported. Likewise everyone else involved in this conspiracy to break the laws of the USA. There is no such right for the UN to maintain a security force to protect the person of the Secretary General nor has there been a security council resolution authorizing such an international protective force. Koffi is in violation of his own charter. Take him down now.

lmao.
Annan has pulled a Rosie.
Rosie is another hypo-rat with gun toting bodyguards.
Why she thinks she needs protected.........
To: Squantos
Somehow I do not think that even if Koffi's boys had tanks and artillery they would be raided after all the BATFAGS do not really wish to risk harming non-citizens.

The law is only applied against Peasants, not Masters. Kofi is a High Master.
To: wardaddy
Well there are many right wing Christian fanatics who resent that the UN is busy saving the world and disarming the masses, so Kofi's guards needs to be well armed.
To: Travis McGee; Squantos; harpseal
What's bad for the master is some of us peasants remember the small arms portion of gunnery school very well.
To: viligantcitizen
What's bad for the master is some of us peasants don't need a "firearm" at all to stop sedition and socialist's if it comes to such......... :o)
Stay Safe !
