That is what folks'll be saying if something like this ever goes through and I've got Blue Helmets knocking on my door.
"U.N. seeking global gun control? Conference moving toward plan that would regulate U.S. arms"
"A U.N. group is working toward establishment of an international system to register and regulate civilian possession of firearms, according to a former congressman. The ultimate aim of many members of the conference on small arms is to outlaw personal ownership of guns altogether, said Georgia Republican Bob Barr in an interview yesterday on the newly syndicated."
Whether you like Barr or not, this is no bullshit. The UN has been batting this idea around since the 80's and they are quite serious about it. What with the semi-recent happenings in Australia, the UK and Canada's 'National Firearms Registry".
Never mind that these programs have all been absolute failures. The folks in the UN see them as successes that this type of thing can be pushed through.
Remember the report that came out last week about how the US was the most heavily armed country in the world. That was these fuckers getting a headcount. They say it is all about 'small arms trafficking', but if they cared about that, we wouldn't be finding huge caches of AK-47's in Iraq.
Don't believe me? Think I'm just a wee-bit paranoid? Read this one about 'A Global Tax on Firearms to Prevent World Hunger". Or this one about a gun control event sponsored by the UN that held as one of it's edicts "A system of tracking 'Officially Held Guns". What is an 'Officially Held Gun' you ask? Why one that you recieved permission to own, of course.
