"I would want to repeat, because there are people around who either have not heard this, or do not want to hear," United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Monday. "We are not negotiating a global ban, nor do we wish to deny law-abiding citizens their right to bear arms in accordance with their national laws."So if the laws say "no guns," then no guns it is.
Here's the thing, though: Most of our "pro gun" leaders are making great media hay out of the UN conference and riling up gun owners. There is a lot of opportunistic hype going on from "our" side, designed to put the troops in a donating frame of mind.
The fact is, the UN is powerless to take our guns away, and will remain that way unless our elected and appointed representatives betray us. If you want to ensure the UN remains powerless, don't lose focus of domestic representatives.
We won't get the US out of the UN until politicians start losing their cushy gigs over it.
